Our focus this month is on giving. Giving isn't just about money - in many cases, non profit organisations will value your time, skills or expertise even more highly than your chequebook. Our freelancers really astound us with their enthusiastic responses to the helpout briefs we post on Freelancentral. If you're looking for a way to share your skills, an excellent place to start is the Greater Good's website - or pop by and visit the Giving Exchange...

"I got an assignment in just three days!"
One of our writers put her profile online on a Monday and emailed us on the Wednesday to tell us she already has an assigment. Now that's impressive!

Freelancentral collaborates with the Giving Exchange to redefine giving
 Freelancentral designers are currently responding to an exciting new helpout brief, which calls for pro bono assistance in designing exhibition graphics for the non profit organisations who will be exhibiting at this year's Giving Exchange. The primary aim of this exhibition, which is run by the Greater Good SA, is to encourage the public to give to the non profit sector in whatever way they can. The Giving Exchange takes place in three cities around SA in September and October so do go along and see how you can make a difference to the 20 profiled organisations who will be chanelling the creativity of our design freelancers to showcase their community and development projects. All freelancers who participate in this year's Giving Exchange will be awarded a free Freelancentral portfolio for a year, as well as benefiting from extensive national publicity. FREELANCERS: The full Giving Exchange brief is available here and the closing date for responses is 28 July 2006. And remember, all Freelancentral members who helpout get FREE online portfolios. |
