Online media gives you the opportunity to reach far more people, far quicker, and far cheaper then ever before. If everyone who visited this page shared it with their friends it has the potential to reach far more people than one person alone can.

This is a campaign only. We are trying to raise funds to build schools and libraries in developing countries. If this go we'll, we will look to set up a charity to reduce fundraising administration fees. At this stage we are focusing on what we are good at, which is fundraising and promotion.

We are supporting an organization called Room To Read. Room To Read is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization which sees "a world in which all children can pursue a quality education, reach their full potential and contribute to their community and the world. To achieve this goal, [they] focus on two areas where [they] believe [they] can have the greatest impact: literacy and gender equality in education.  [They] work in collaboration with communities and local governments across Asia and Africa to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children, and support girls to complete secondary school with the life skills they’ll need to succeed in school and beyond."

In 2011, Room To Read spend on 16% of revenue on "Fundraising, Management and General" Administration. After conducting Due Diligence we consider Room To Read to be ethical, accountable and transparent. They have around the same costs as Mission Australia and World Vision Australia.

We are partnering with Everyday Hero as our fundraising platform and payment gateway.  Everyday Hero takes a little over 6.5% in fees.

End Illiteracy is a campaign only. If this go we'll, we will look to set up a charity to reduce fundraising administration fees. At this stage we are focusing on what we are good at, which is fundraising and promotion.

If you are not donating yourself and you are looking to form a fundraising team or get multiple people to donate to your End Illiteracy support page on Everyday Hero, then here are some tips to promote:

Some channels are sharing your Everyday Hero Fundraising page on Twitter, Facebook, with your email contacts, in your email signature, on your blog, by telling media, by Tweeting the @username of a Australian celebrity, or taste-maker.

Also explain why you are drawn to this cause and what incentives are in it for them if they donate to your team page.

Remember not to SPAM people either.
