The Dave Greber Freelance Writers Book and Magazine Awards Have Gone National!

Six Years Ago, Only Calgary Writers Were Eligible - Now The Awards Are Open to All Eligible Freelance Magazine and Book Writers Residing in Canada who delve into Social Justice issues.

If we can do this, think of what we could do with your $20.00 donation?

Green the Greber Awards

It is essential that the awards continue to grow and flourish.

Green the Greber Awards simply by giving $20.00.

Green is the symbol of growth and greening the earth and is also the colour of a twenty-dollar bill. When you donate $20.00 you will contribute to the growth of the awards.

Your donation will go towards increasing the size of the ongoing awards and so keep on giving year after year.

Donate now, and help achieve this year's goal of ten thousand dollars.

Help us achieve this year's goal of ten thousand dollars by making a donation online, by mail, or by calling us at the Jewish Community Foundation of Calgary at (403) 640-2273 or toll free at (877) 271 3283 (speak with Phyllis D'Aguiar the Fund Development Manager).

It could be a movie, a bottle of wine, a pizza, or a book, a DVD or a meal at a family restaurant with the kids.

But...

When you donate twenty dollars to the Dave Gerber Freelance Writers Awards you will have the pleasure of knowing you have made it possible to support social justice writers at a time when they most need it.

The donated monies will go to increasing the value of the funds that support the writing awards and to supporting outreach and marketing initiatives. No additional costs will be incurred.

Award Increase Will Be Reported in June

Together, let's get this done in the next four months so that when the Call for Submissions is closed in June, you will know by the increase in the value of the awards just how successful you and your fellow supporters have been.

You Can Donate Online Now

It is very easy to donate. We are asking you for just one twenty-dollar bill. Five hundred green twenty-dollar donations are all that are needed and the annual goal of ten thousand dollars will have been achieved. Donate more if you wish.

So, spread the word near and far to friends, Face book and Twitter contacts, family, colleagues, professional organizations and any other individual or group you think would like to donate because they have an interest in social justice writing.

Here is how money invested in community foundations works.

You do not need to leave your home or office to green the Greber Awards. You can contribute by using a credit card online, phoning us, or sending cash/cheque. Click now to learn how to donate.
