The
EMILY Fund is not the only nonprofit organization helping
to grow a holistic movement for a better world. Action
Without Borders (Idealist.org), The Better World Network,
We, The World and many others are working to unite the
many existing movements for change, in order to create
an alternate paradigm that anyone can easily plug into.
One
of our goals is to help convince individuals, corporate
sponsors and foundations to invest in nonprofits that
are working to create this alternate paradigm that is
emerging.
People
donate to nonprofits, hoping their money will be used
to help make life better. But there are SO MANY worthy
causes that people often feel overwhelmed by solicitations
for donations.
Most
of the causes that nonprofits promote are extremely
important, valuable, and often urgent calls to address
an immediate need or injustice. But the millions of
important causes are mostly symptoms of a system that
isn't working properly. If society decided that working
to create a better world was a priority, ALL of the
injustices that nonprofits are working to address would
be addressed as well.
Every
dollar that philanthropists and individuals give to
organizations like We, The World, which are helping
transform society's attitude about 'creating a better
world', actually helps millions of individual causes
as well. Popularizing a wish for a better world is the
ONLY WAY that we can truly transform society, because
only then can we address the root causes that perpetuate
the current broken system.
