Do you want to give mother nature a really great Christmas present this year? Do you love Wyoming's wild places? Do you wish that you could make some sort of contribution to offset that inherent damage that
your energy consumption does to the environment in the extraction of fuels? Are you apathetic about the environment but love me? Well boy oh boy do I have an opportunity for you! Here's the deal: The little non-profit that I work for in Wyoming is trying to get a grant this winter from the EnviroKids program by
Nature's Path Foods and we need your help! Because we are such a small organization working in a not very populous state we start out with a handicap right out of the gate, we just don't have influence over the same number of people that a non-profit in say NYC or San Francisco has. Last years winner won with something like 27,000 votes and we operate in a city that barely has that many people in it. BCA fights for the responsible management of public lands in Wyoming, but the pocket gophers, wolves, elk, deer, and sage grouse can't vote, they don't have facebook accounts. YOU do.
We could be the underdog story of the year! I have no facts to back this up, it is merely conjecture, but I'm pretty sure a non-national, Wyoming based non-profit has never won a FB voting based grant on any sort of a large scale. I can't confirm nor deny this, but no matter how many different ways I google "Wyoming non-profit wins grant through facebook voting" I still come up with nothing. Help us change that, BCA does a lot of good work, with only a few great employees, and a severely limited budget because we can't imagine not doing it; this is our passion and our life's work, help us keep it up!
