Hello new friends, my name is Dr. Onoja Ahmodu, Founder/ED, Native Languages Preservation and Renewal Foundation (NALPREF). I authored the book of sustainable human languages innovation titled: IGALA- The Language That Breathes! My dire motivation for joining this platform is simply to learn and be taught about fundraising at its best to grow our foundation for greater social impact, in line with our core vision. It is no longer news that our native languages are dying! Some have gone extinct already! If we must retain and refine our cultures and identity, we must have a thriving language. If our unique identity as a people must not be lost to a few dominant languages then we must rise to the call! We are open to collaborations or volunteering in all capacities towards deployment of our tested innovations, to save our native languages and by extension, shield our children from losing their identities and getting lost in dominant languages! We are positioned to making native languages self-sustaining, enriched and widely spoken. You're welcome aboard! Your love and passion to see your own language advance and supported in any form and capacities are the prerequisites. Looking forward to working with you!

Hi, I'm Elizabeth, from Indiana, USA. I actually don't need to fundraise for my job, but I am interested in fundraising for my kid's amazing daycare, where the teachers are underpaid (as they are in so many daycares).

We are planning to move soon, so it would also be great to get some ideas that I could bring with me, if there are any in terms of connections to try to make, etc.
