Members of our 2013 Full Circle Fund Rising Leaders Program are hosting an Idea Jamathon on Saturday, June 8, 2013 in San Francisco, where a select group of nonprofits and social entrepreneurs will get a full day of pro-bono consulting assistance from our members, and one organization will receive $5,000!

The Rising Leaders have selected eight causes to receive day-long brainstorming/working sessions with Rising Leaders and other Full Circle Fund members. This opportunity will help potential grant partners gain entry to the Full Circle Fund community, or be welcomed back (for former partners).




The social entrepreneur/representative from the nonprofit organization must be able to attend in person on June 8. Possible areas for assistance include:

* Marketing/messaging session to enhance your pitch and collateral
* Social media strategy and campaign development
* Development strategy sessions
* How to use technology to optimize your reach
* Advisory or executive board development brainstorm
* How to scale your product or idea

Agenda:

10:30-11: Guests and Participants Arrive
            11:00: Nonprofit Leaders and Rising Leaders Give High-Level Overview of Org/Issue/Opportunity
            11:45: Grab Lunch and Select Breakout
            12:00-4:00: Consulting/Working Sessions
            4:00: Rising Leaders and Orgs Present Solutions/Work Products
            5:00: Rising Leaders Vote
            5:30-7: Cocktail Hour + Celebration with All Participants

At the end of the event, organizations or individuals will present their "solution" to the challenge presented, and a grant prize of $5,000 will be awarded to the organization selected by the Full Circle Fund Rising Leaders as the most promising.
