Okay, while we’re figuring out how to do more and better, here’re a few recent highlights, in a more condensed form than last time. I’m tired.
- ongoing/frequent support:
- vets/military families including jobs, health records
- classrooms via DonorsChoose
- lots of connecting one group to another (esp. water, veterans, mideast)
- helping how to really do serious mass pro/am factchecking effort
- Knight News Challenge competition review (focus: business model, trust)
- South by Southwest
- Accelerator for news related startups, focusing on trust issues
- talking with groups for nonprofit infrastructure, eg CharityNavigator, Guidestar, Care2, Network for Good, others
- funding pilot for English teaching in schools in the West Bank
- whole bunch of interviews regarding craigconnects and social media
- meeting re Science XPrize, Singularity University, and Kairos Society
- Shorty Awards culmination
- reconnect with VotoLatino
- taking a look at online water programs (water.org, charity:water, Water for People)
Looking forward to starting a non-profit to raise money for children and animals. My business plan is unique and money wlll be earned by my charity. Love to share the concept. Brad

Craig,
I can not imagine how it might feel like to be in your position right now. You announce that you are going to start a project, and then you must be buried already with asks and demands and other people’s ideas. “No good deed goes un-punished”. I truly hope you can do the work you set out to do, on your terms. Go man go.
