Betty Alonso, Grassroots Grantmakers' new board chair and Associate Program Director at the Dade Community Foundation, recently told me about animoto. I was preparing for the annual retreat of the Grassroots Grantmakers board and looking for a way to give a quick update of our work over the past year and set an up-beat tone for the rest of the meeting. Betty suggested animoto.com. Bingo, I was in business.
Check out what I produced with just a few clicks and some music. And imagine how you can use this to tell your community's story of grassroots grantmaking at grantee meetings, grantmaking committee meetings, and meetings of your board.
