Hello from Nau, We have some exciting news, and want you, our OTG subscribers, to hear about it, first. Today marks the launch of our first annual Grant for Change, a $10,000 grant designed to support those who instigate lasting, positive change in their communities. The focus of the grant will shift each year, and to kick it off we're highlighting the efforts of those who move in the spirit of our core community, the Nau Collective (in other words, You). This means the 2009 G4C is open to... ATHLETES who are challenging assumptions about what it means to move through the world. ARTISTS, designers or other creatives who are moved to design better solutions to the world's greatest problems. ACTIVISTS who are seeding positive change in their communities, and moving others to do the same. Pretty cool, hey? We're excited. But that's not all. The grant is nomination-based, and voter-driven. We can only give out one per year, and we need you to help us find our first official Grantee. You can learn more about the process here. There are amazing efforts in positive change happening all over the country. While working on this grant, we've met remarkable people with tireless commitment to causes as varied as climate change, transportation, urban agriculture, and clothing design. This is inspiring stuff. We hope you'll join us in pushing these efforts one step closer to effective, lasting positive change. The nominations are open 'til August 17th, the voting 'til August 31st. Don't hold back. The more nominees we get, the more stories of change we get to tell. Ready, set, nominate, The Team at Nau
