Thanks to all of the many people that helped us reach the dollar-for-dollar matching grant challenge by Humanity United. On November 10, 2007 we went over the $15,000 challenge mark. We are committed to doing all that we can to help the people of Darfur get back to a peaceful homeland, and your contributions are essential to these efforts.

Fund-raising Ideas

Participate in the SGN network by raising money and creating community! To begin, contact our Community Outreach Coordinator, Katie-Jay Scott at katiejay.scott (at) gmail.com.

In thinking about ways to help SGN fundraise, the best place to start is with you. What do you already spend your time doing? Do you belong to any clubs or organized groups who engage in an activity? How can you integrate your activities into raising awareness and money for Darfur? Sometimes the best gatherings are small and intimate rather than ones that draw a few hundred people. The most successful and creative fundraisers are those that integrate your life and advocacy. We will provide you with the tools you need: brochures, pictures and a DVD of our time in Chad, donation forms and anything else, just ask! Below are just a few ideas to get you started, but don’t let them hold you back, think outside the box!

  1. Host a small gathering at your house with close friends – a dinner or a cocktail party!
  2. Organize an ally-raiser at a local restaurant and ask them to donate all proceeds from one of their specials.
  3. Participate in or organize a city-wide 3k, 5k, or half-marathon run and ask for sponsorship for Darfur. Don’t run? What about a bike ride?
  4. Organize a Dine for Darfur in your community – engage local restaurants in donating a percentage of their proceeds in one day to Darfur.
  5. Host a film and discussion at a local cinema or house.
  6. Organize a concert, play or DJ jam at a local venue, park, or community center.
  7. Ask your place of worship to donate one day’s collection to Darfur.
  8. Sell t-shirts, stickers or wristbands.
  9. Coordinate a wine or beer tasting for happy hour.
  10. Organize an auction or art competition.
  11. Create a zine of local artists and writers supporting peace and sell it.
  12. In lieu of gifts for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah or wedding, ask people to donate to SGN.
  13. Have a portion of your sports pool (fantasy too!) or poker game go towards rebuilding Darfur.
  14. Host a mom and baby “Play Date” event with fun activities and food.
  15. Have a raffle at your school in conjunction with awareness events.
  16. Disc golf for Darfur tournament.
  17. Invite friends and family to organize a community garage-sale.
  18. Be creative! Find your own way to fund-raise.

As you do these activities, always use the opportunity to create awareness and action for the people of Darfur.

JOIN the Community

Support SGN with your TIME and SKILLS!

Stop Genocide Now is always looking for people like you to join our community and contribute your skills. Beyond hosting us at your school, place of worship or community center, you can actually help SGN create our outreach materials, work with our tech and web team, and help us edit hours and hours of video we have from Chad. Our current team currently communicates primarily via the internet and conference calls, you too can join! Not sure how you can contribute? What do you spend your time doing? What skills and interests do you have? We are a small team, so your help will go a long way to create an even larger impact on how the world reacts to genocide.

We are currently in need of:

  • Video editors – We have hours of video from three different trips to Chad. We would like to categorize the video so we can use it to make more specific connections. This position requires that you are able to meet with team members in Redondo Beach, CA or nearby.
  • Website help to assist our current team.
  • Outreach material development – It would be great to work with one or two graphic artists on postcards, posters, t-shirts and more! Not an expert? No worries!
  • Public Relations and Media Outreach – During our i-ACT trips to Chad, we would love help with contacting media in your local area, writing press releases and getting the word out into the larger community - whether that means magazines, newspapers or local cable access.
  • Grant Research and Writing - As SGN expands, we need help funding our projects and new staff members. Currently we have a very small paid staff and would love to have the opportunity to hire some of our volunteers and expand our projects for greater impact.
  • Camp Darfur - Join the Camp Darfur team and help us expand on the display. We need your help in researching genocides and creating materials for the tents. This can be done from anywhere!

Let us know about any areas of interest or skills that you can offer. We are very open to being creative and finding the power to make a difference within each individual.
