What People Are Saying About Channel G Channel G
combines the mission of
social change with the power of the media. It is a breakthrough for
television, providing unique, valuable, and vital messages. It is a
giant step for critically important domestic and global projects that
will finally have a media vehicle dedicated to promoting their
fundraising efforts. Never has the word “promotion” taken on such a
positive, meaningful definition. Never before has there been an
opportunity to take these stories of our people and our world to our
people and our world through the mainstream
media. Andrew H. Orgel, Chairman & CEO Global Media Group, Inc. Founding executive of Nickelodeon, MTV, A&E, The Movie Channel and Wisdom Media Group Channel G is an idea that has
been
waiting to happen for decades. Why someone hasn't taken advantage of
using television to raise money for worthy, forward thinking
non-profits is a mystery to me. My deep appreciation to Atom and his
team for creating one the most exciting new fundraising efforts I have
seen. John Steiner,
Founding Member Threshold and The Social Venture Network What
has gotten me so excited
about
Channel G is the shear potential of it to change the way philanthropy
is done and by whom it's done– to democratize participation by engaging
a much broader range of donors in a brave new way. The idea that we may
be able to bring in a new wave of civic philanthropists from across the
country utilizing popular media is powerful. Channel G plans to get
beyond preaching to the converted to tap a massive market that
traditionally has remained on the sidelines. If it succeeds in an even
a modest way it will change the face of philanthropy in this country,
putting it at everyone's fingertips and on everyone's
mind. Tim
Freundlich, Director, Strategic
Development Calvert Social Investment Foundation The Threshold Foundation's New
Visions
grants committee awarded Channel G our largest single grant this year.
Committee members joked that Channel G is the "poster child" for New
Visions. As co-chair of New Visions I put it this way, "we see a lot of
very worthwhile, but incremental, projects where a certain amount of
money will yield a certain incremental benefit. With Channel G it is
like placing a bet on a high stakes game, if it works, we could see a
tremendous benefit for the relatively small amount invested".
New
Visions is betting on Channel
