Teach For India (registered name: Teach to Lead) - Non-Profit - www.teachforindia.org/

Non-profits with the most impact understand how to deliver grassroots impact and bring that to bear on a systemic level. In India, the failing education system is so massive in scale and so grave in its implications, that to address the problem, India's its leaders and citizenry alike must be enlisted. Social media is today's most viral communication platform, and at the rate India's middle class is growing, this is truer than ever for our organization. Teach For India needs a first-rate viral video to enlist India's online community, its most influential citizens, in this movement.

Children’s Home + Aid- Non-Profit - www.childrenshomeandaid.org

Parents Care + Share prevents child abuse by empowering parents to shed abusive practices and learn new, protective parenting skills. During these free group meetings, volunteer facilitators and parent leaders face difficult issues such as anger, substance abuse, child endangerment or domestic violence. They need training to effectively help the group find solutions to those issues. Children’s Home + Aid wishes to produce a training video for facilitators and parent leaders to increase their skills. The video will give them the tools they need to help parents implement protective parenting skills, develop nurturing relationships with their children and peers.

CLEAN Education - Non-Profit - www.cleaneducation.org

CLEAN Education is a supplemental science program that seeks to address climate change by empowering our youth to learn more and to take action. We do this by bringing K-8 students research-based climate change education in an engaging, play-based learning environment. Our success in connecting kids with research, scientists, community members, and other students depends on our ability to build and maintain a strong network. A dynamic, easily navigable website would deliver our essential tools – presentations, schedules, collaborative research projects, and more – to all involved. This would facilitate communication and logistics, allowing us to maximize our impact in the classroom.

Firewater Media Group - Profit - http://www.firewatermediagroup.com

Garbology Kids is a six-book children's book series that aims to educate children (and adults) about waste management in a fun and entertaining way. Education of waste management is important because of the amount of waste generated in developed countries, the US being one of the biggest generators. My goal is to educate as many people as possible to take action to minimize the waste generated. Free Range can help me create my vision for a better world by raising the level of awareness through a video that compliments the Garbology Kids: Where Do Recyclable Materials Go? children's debut book.

California Institute for Rural Studies - Non-Profit - www.fairfoodproject.org; www.cirsinc.org

We believe the growing sustainable food movement offers an unprecedented opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of just farmworker conditions as an integral component of a more sustainable food system. Increasing knowledge of these issues among individual and institutional consumers will give a much-needed boost to the demand for fair food: food produced under just labor conditions. By employing a multimedia approach targeting young organizers we have assured that social justice and farmworker issues are integrated into the sustainable agriculture discourse, rather than being left off the table, as has largely been the case until now. We need help making our website more appealing and interactive.

Grow it Right Aquaponics - Profit - www.growitright.net

Aquaponics is a revolutionary way of farming. It uses 98% less water than conventional farming. Aquaponics can be used on land that would normally not be able to support a farm. For example, inside urban warehouse or on a concrete lot. It also uses little electricity and can be run on alternative energy sources. Our Mission is education. We aim to teach others how to incorporate aquaponics in their homes and communities. Most importantly, we want to empower people and give them control over what they eat. As well as, the ability to choose where their food comes from.

MokuZoku - Profit - www.mokuzoku.com // http://bit.ly/9cz8cV

MokuZoku is an early stage game design studio trying to design and build the next generation of games that focuses on the natural world. We have developed two games to-date focused on the theme of "learning through playing." We are currently engaged in the strategic re-deployment of assets to generate traffic and awareness for the niche of gaming on which we seek to expand. We anticipate building several more games in 2011 aimed at this goal AND several others including "playing and doing" and "playing through doing." MokuZoku, through its partnerships and gameplay, has already fed >2,000 children and planted 2,200 saplings around Lilongwe, Malawi.

Together MokuZoku and Free Range can re-position some existing goodwill and assets to further our goals of gaming for good and highlight our long-term product development and gaming goals.

PEPY Ride - Non-Profit - www.pepyride.org

How FR can help: The PEPY Ride is a really confusing name of an NGO! We started as a bike ride but have now grown into an educational development organization working in over 10 schools in rural Cambodia. We want to rebrand our organization with a new Khmer name, new logo/website, and re-work our identity so that people associate what we do not with biking but with innovative leadership and educational development programs. We previously had invested in "things" but we now invest in "people" & we'd love support from Free Range to make that clear to people who find us.

Asante Africa Foundation - Non-Profit - www.asanteafrica.org

Asante Africa Foundation was founded upon a simple principle: that education uplifts and empowers people to collectively find solutions to the problems of society around them.

We want to demonstrate the power of this principle with a video (produced through your assistance) showing how our work of providing quality education to children in Africa positively changes the communities in which they live.

We want to expand our circle of supporters and educate the wider public on how access to education will turn today's child into tomorrow's leader with the vision and wisdom to create a more peaceful world.
