Vote for Social Entrepreneurship in Google's 10^100 Competition

Here's the story... last year, the folks at Google created a competition called Project 10100 (pronounced "Project 10 to the 100th"). They asked people for ideas to change the world. People submit thousands of ideas, and Google selects a handful to compete for up to $10 million in funding to implement these ideas. The aim is to help as many people as possible.

This year, Social Entrepreneurship was one of the 16 finalists. We're asking all of our supporters to vote for Social Entrepreneurship before this Thursday, October 8. After you've done that, go ahead and nominate Acumen Fund as an organization Google should fund. Then, spread the word either through Facebook, Twitter or email.

As supporters of Acumen Fund, we believe in the transformative power of social enterprise to alleviate global poverty. Go ahead and vote for Social Entrepreneurship. Your vote could help change the world.
