If you're into films like we are, you'll no doubt be watching the Oscars tomorrow. And with any luck, you might catch a glimpse of TakePart during the commercials. That's because TakePart has joined up with American Express to expand our dream of making a difference. Our new addition is called Members Project®, and here's how it works...
Big change always starts with just one small step. Geoffrey Canada revitalized Harlem one block at a time. Yvon Chouinard’s first foray into environmental preservation began with a simple idea for a new piece of rock-climbing equipment.
Members Project is a new online philanthropic program that provides numerous ways to get involved with the causes you care about. Anyone can participate by Voting, Volunteering or Donating.
But you don't have to wait til tomorrow to get started. Want to get started? Here’s how:
VOTE. Register for Members Project, then vote once a week for your favorite charity. Every three months, the five charities with the most votes will each receive $200,000 donations from American Express.
VOLUNTEER. You can make a huge difference for others by giving just an hour of your time. But you can also earn something for you. For every hour you volunteer, Members Project will give you 500 Membership Rewards points. If you’re not an American Express Cardmember, you can still earn points and donate them to your favorite charity. Find a volunteer opportunity
DONATE. Show your support by making a donation to your favorite charity. With over a million different charities to choose from, you can donate in a way that fits your schedule, your budget and your interests. Anything from a one-time donation of $5, to monthly recurring donations will help make a big difference.
