As you know, our ultimate objective at Vivanista is to empow(H)er women, and we use media to achieve that objective. We recently learned that WITNESS – a global nonprofit that utilizes video to help and empower suffering women around the world – is one of the 100 small charity finalists in the Chase Community Giving contest sponsored by JP Morgan Chase & Co. On January 15th, the top 100 finalists will compete for a $1 million grant in Round 2 of the contest. Chase will award $1 million to the charity with the most votes and the five runners-up will receive $100,000 each. Of the many finalists we support, we were particularly touched by WITNESS, given our common goal: inspiring and empowering women for the greater good.
