This Election Season, Vote for Five Talents and Savings-Led Microfinance

golvote2Five Talents has an incredible opportunity to win a $10,000 grant from the Giving of Life Foundation. There's just one catch: We need you.

A grant of that size can do a lot of damage in the fight against poverty. Take, for example, our program in Burundi, where it costs about $18 to provide loan capital, savings initiatives, business training and spiritual mentoring to each woman and man who participates in our program.

A $10K grant would help us reach more than 550 mothers and fathers in one of the most impoverished countries in the world.

That's 550 individuals who will finally have an opportunity to tap into the gifts and abilities that God has given them and build up their savings, start or grow a micro-business and send their children to school. You can play a key role in this exciting opportunity – just by clicking your mouse.

That's right. We're not asking for money. We're not asking for time. We're asking you to click this link and vote for Five Talents.

Will you help us?

Supporters are actually allowed to vote more than once – here's how you can max out your support for Five Talents:

  • Click this link, and then click on the green "vote" button on the left-hand side of your screen. Every new visitor to GivingOfLife.com gets one vote.
  • In order to get two more votes, create an account with Giving of Life. Once you have completed the registration process, return to this page and vote (for us!) two more times! (Pretty please!)
  • You can get two final votes (for a grand total of five!) by registering your Twitter handle and Facebook URL with Giving of Life.

After you've voted for Five Talents, we would love it if you would ask a few friends and family members to vote as well.

Post Five Talents' Giving of Life profile to your Facebook page and invite others to participate. We are in a relatively small category, so if we finish as the top vote-getter, we will win a $10,000 grant towards our innovative work in the developing world.

Thank you for helping us to get out the vote!
