How Can We Get 100 Volunteers by October??
We need to find 100 volunteers to help prepare taxes for low-income individuals in New Haven from January to April 15. The need is great, and the results are amazing. Imagine participating in a race or a gala that could raise $5,000,000. That's how much we hope to refund to New Haven residents. $5 million dollars invested back into the community. All we need to reach the goal is find 100 people who are willing to give one night a week for 14 weeks. But where do we find 100 people in two months? Any ideas?

Are you using Facebook and Twitter effectively? They are awesome resources when applied with strategic focus. You may already be doing this, and, of course, you are using 211.org and UW sites. How are you doing on the effort? What number are you up to at this point? Posting that is usefull because people always want to do what other people are already doing. Wish I had a magic bulet to offer you, good luck.

Thanks, Caryl. We're up to about 50 now. I had an article in the Register yesterday and that seemed to help.

For some reason, everyone in New Haven that likes to volunteer reads the New Haven Independent - send an e-mail to Paul Bass, he will definitely run something.
Besides that, the interwebs do help! I am sure that a few people around here have a good twitter account with tons of New Haven followers that can spread the word - and of course, Facebook does work, specially in this hyperlocal projects.
Of course, we can also put up a VITA recruiting group together here and in Facebook - let´s build something! :-)

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact
LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing
With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant
