Hello Friends of the Taylor Foundation
We are always looking for like minded people who are keen to support the Foundation with ad hoc fundraising and project focused tasks in exchange for learning opportunities and exposure to our work.
We ask for a 3 month minimum commitment of a few hours per week.
Given we commit to sending 100% of all funds raised to our projects, our internal resources are tight so we also welcome people reaching out to suggest how their voluntary and virtual skills may be able to support the Foundation's growth.

We're a charity that supports families recently diagnosed with Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia (NKH), which is a rare and terminal metabolic disorder in children. Unfortunately, 80% of children born with NKH don't see their first birthday.

One of the ways we raise funds is by selling children's books on Amazon, with all the royalties going to the charity. Last year (2021) we launched Charlie the Crow - which was very well received!

We have plenty of translations for Charlie the Crow (so we can sell them in dual language format, a tactic which worked well for our first book, Eva the Adventurer). What we need is someone to take the existing In Design File, update with the translations, and upload the exported PDF to Amazon.

It's very simple and just requires In Design knowledge, an Adobe Creative Cloud account and time.

If you are a designer, familiar with In Design and have some spare time, we'd really love to chat!

The only way CrowdDoing.world can realize its impact potential is through virtual volunteers,service learners(http://blog.reframeit.com/service-learning-and-skilled-volunteering/), and micro-leaders (https://real-leaders.com/leveraging-micro-leadership-to-make-aspirational-goals-achievable/) coming together.

 

See this brief video aboutMicro-leadership at CrowdDoing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhdB2YJ8Ocs&app=desktop). Micro-leadership means that each person adopts a dimension of responsibility for a collective problem in our society through collaborating on that area creatively individually and together through social innovation.
