Hi everyone,

Do you remember eagerly waiting and hoping you had gotten funding for your
IG course? I do! Funding for deserving students has become very difficult
to find, so we are trying new possibilities. Please read about it, and help
us if you can. Donations and passing this information to others both count
as helping...

We have launched our first crowdfunding attempt, through the Pozible
platform:
http://www.pozible.com/project/180875/. You will recognise Desiree
Zachariah, an IG alumnus, as the first participant speaking on the video.

We are starting with a very modest goal: to raise funds for several
scholarships for our summer courses. However, we hope this will eventually
develop into a substantial fund which we can use in different ways to
support the participation of people from small and developing states in our
courses. We will explore other ways to build this fund also.

The idea with crowdfunding is to collect a large number of small (or
medium-sized) donations. To do this, we need to reach as wide as possible
an audience with the invitation to contribute and to share. We’ll be
announcing this via our various channels (DiploNews, alumni, FB, Twitter,
etc). In case you have ideas for spreading it more widely, please let us
know your suggestions. And if you know anyone who might like to contribute
with a small or even not-so-small donation, please invite them to do so!

We have also established a page on our website to support this fund:

In case of any suggestions or ideas, please let us know.

Best wishes,
Ginger
