I was checking out the ideablob website to see who is up this month
for the prize and came across the following entry. I don't know about
the organization, but it looks like a worthwhile venture. Does anyone
know anything about them? I could not find them online outside their
ideablob posting.

Idea Description
BOLD is an international project to educate and empower women through
the use of Theatre Arts. We provide education, community, and support
to grassroots community organizers who host BOLD events in their
communities. BOLD Events include - Performance & Talkback Initiative -
Communities perform Birth a play by Karen Brody and host a talkback
panel that discusses the documentary-style play and local health care
issues effecting mothers & babies; Red Tents - Communities host birth
storytelling "tents" at which women can give voice to their
experiences, and get support and learn from each other; College
Campaing - Supports health advocacy & body image education for college
age women.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
3 key tasks that will stabilize our organization and allow us to
continue to grow:
1. Create a more professional & streamlined web site, with email for
our voluneers, an integrated online bulletin board for communicating
with our dozens of community organizers and a more coherent expression
of our vision of creating a positive, woman centered birth culture. 2.
Attend technical assistance & board development workshops that will
allow us to finish our nonprofit incorporation process and create a
professional board. 3. Add to our Matching Funds pool of donations to
increase incentive for our upcoming fundraising drive.
