Calling All Socially Minded Businesses

Do you own or work for a business that is socially minded? If you answered yes, then the Borgen Project needs your help.

The Borgen Project (www.borgenproject.org) is an innovative national campaign that works with U.S. leaders to downsize global poverty. We are a non-partisan, non-profit organization staffed 100% by volunteers that operates from donated office space, so all proceeds are used towards furthering the cause. With over 1.2 billion people living on less than $1 per day, our goal is to elevate their standard of living, which also benefits U.S. economic and security interests. Our online auction is also an excellent way to market your brand to thousands of people across the nation who will be exposed to your company and have linked access to your product line from our auction site.

No donation is too small or too unique. 

Do you know of a person or business that would be interested in contributing to our silent auction?

Please contact me (Samantha Voorhees) if you can help.

Violence Against Women

One billion women will be victims of violence in their lifetime.

Recognizing that violence is both a cause and effect of poverty, CARE works to prevent and reduce physical, sexual and psychological abuse against women and girls. Recently, CARE launched a new campaign, "Voices Against Violence," to support the hundreds of thousands of women and girls silenced by abuse.

I just signed CARE's petition to call for an end to violence against women. Please add your voice to the petition, too, and help CARE empower women and girls to break free from the vicious cycle of poverty and abuse.

Together, we can help CARE empower women and girls to escape violence and unlock their vast potential to thrive and create a brighter future for themselves, their families and their communities.
