Our aim is to get ambassadors for the program from all over the country to make our fund raising process successful and also spread the word about the program. The funds to be raised will be for projects that focus on strengthening democratic values, community and economic development, education, media, arts and culture, and human rights. The launch of the Idea voting web portal www.be1Idea.org is on 11 November 2011 and the first funded project will be announced December 2011 after voting is completed and will be executed in January 2012 and every month thereafter for monthly winners.
