Support an Organization That Matters to You - Join the 2010 This Place Matt
ers Community Challenge!
Is there an organization in your region that could use $25,000? Maybe they
'd like to hear about the 2010 This Place Matters Community Challenge<http:
//www.preservationnation.org/take-action/this-place-matters/>!
As you may know, This Place Matters is the National Trust for Historic Pres
ervation's public awareness campaign that has helped thousands of people, c
ommunities, and preservation-minded folks across the country express what p
laces really matter to them.
This summer, we've created the This Place Matters Community Challenge<http:
//www.preservationnation.org/take-action/this-place-matters/> to help non-p
rofit preservation organizations harness the power of this campaign, to rai
se awareness and mobilize people in your area, and to start a conversation
about what matters in your community - along with the chance to win a $25,0
00 cash award!
Participating in the Challenge is easy. All you need to do is:
1. Fill out our easy online application<http://my.preservationnation
.org/site/Survey?ACTION_REQUIRED=URI_ACTION_USER_REQUESTS&SURVEY_ID=136

2. Select a place that will galvanize folks in your community to get
involved.
3. Post a picture of the place and tell your story in our easy to use
PreservationNation template.
4. Start the conversation and get as many folks involved as possible!
We'll provide all the tools you'll need to generate support, including samp
le emails, Facebook posts and tweets to get out the vote, and sample press
releases to help you get local media involved. We'll even tell you how to
start your own Facebook page if you don't currently have one.
The non-profit organization that gets the most people to register their sup
port by through their PreservationNation page by September 15, 2010, will w
in a cash award of $25,000!
