Announcing incredible limited time offer!

Just imagine your youth-serving organization increasing your funding by 25% or more! How many more youth could you provide services for?

If you have been serving youth in South Florida for any length of time, you know how hard it is to make ends meet, especially in the current economic climate.

You'll find amazing new funders in the new ebook, Fifty Funders for South Florida Youth Programs, which will be released to the public via Clickbank.com on July 7, 2008.

Once it goes on ClickBank, I will raise the price. So for now, for my subscribers only, I am offering this book for a special discount price.

Why order an expensive book or service that covers funders nationwide, in all fields, when your service is local to South Florida and specific to youth?

In this book, you will find fifty funders that provide grants specifically to South Florida youth-serving organizations.

Whether your organization provides arts for youth, education for youth, mentoring for youth, human services for youth, after school programming for youth, or another youth-oriented program, you will find funders in this book for your program.

Whether your organization is small or large, in Miami-Dade, Broward, or Monroe, you will find funders in this book.

If you think you know every funder for your organization, think again! This ebook contains the most often approached as well as the little-known funders!

Save time and money by clicking on the direct link to the funder from this terrific, electronic resource. (In the case of a few of the funders, I provide the mailing address where no website exists.)

How much would you pay to find even one funder that would grant your organization $10,000 or more? How much have you paid in the past, only to find that you have to spend hours digging through foundations that are not relevant for your organization?

For a limited time only, and for my subscribers only, you can purchase this resource for the special introductory price of $24.99. That is less than 50 cents per funder. Less than 50 cents to identify funders that could grant your organization thousands of dollars!

As an added bonus, for my subscribers who order during this special pre-sale period, you will receive a specially chosen selection of the best, most useful writings to assist your non-profit in achieving success, for absolutely free! Inspirational stories to encourage you, sales-letters to use in your fundraising campaigns, optimization strategies to use to improve your organization's online image.

Pre-sale ordering is fast and easy. Simply click on the PayPal icon at right, fill in the special limited-time offer rate of $24.99, write "50 Youth Funders" in the memo, and you will receive your ebook and free bonuses at your PayPal email address by July 3rd.

Don't delay! As soon as Fifty Funders is uploaded to ClickBank, I cannot offer this special rate. The price will be going up. So order today and increase your funding!

American Humane Foreclosure Pets Grant
The American Humane Association recognizes that animal shelters, rescue groups, and animal care and control agencies are seeing more animal victims of the economic downturn and the housing foreclosure crisis. To help ease the current hardship, American Humane is offering grants to its member organizations to help animal victims of foreclosures in need of immediate assistance. The program's emphasis is on keeping pets with their families whenever possible. Therefore, extra consideration will be given to cases where families receive assistance in caring for their pets and in keeping their pets until new housing can be found. These expenses include, but are not limited to, pet deposits for rental housing; behavior training; veterinary expenses (vaccinations, spay/neuter, other vet care); public awareness campaigns to get the word out regarding the issue; and boarding costs to keep pets until owners can reclaim them. Grants may also be awarded to agencies who are trying to re-home these pets. These expenses include, but are not limited to, boarding costs; behavior training to get a pet companion ready; veterinary expenses; and foster care expenses. To be considered for the Foreclosure Pets Grant, an organization must be a nonprofit agency approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) entity, or be a public (local government) entity; be a member of American Humane; and operate and be located within the United States of America or its territories. The grant program is only for nonprofit animal welfare agencies (private or public), and not to individuals, businesses, or corporations. Funding may be requested up to a maximum of $2,000. Application deadline: Open.

Miami Based Choreographer Awarded 2008 Guggenheim Fellowship in Choreography
From http://www.floridadanceassociation.org/

Brazilian choreographer Augusto Soledade has been awarded the 2008 Guggenheim Fellowship in choreography in the Latin American Caribbean category through the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation fellowship program.

Augusto Soledade is the Artistic Director of Brazz Dance Theater, a Miami based dance company that blends Afro-Brazilian and contemporary dance, and an Assistant Professor in Dance at Florida International University also in Miami. The fellowship represents a prestigious acknowledgment of Mr. Soledade’s artistic accomplishments in choreography and an important support for his next choreographic project Dreaming Amazonia.

Dreaming Amazonia is a new choreographic project conceived and choreographed by Augusto Soledade. This new work will investigate the current state of the Amazon forest in Brazil in order to understand it as a natural living environment for indigenous communities, and to juxtapose it to the natural living environment for city dwellers. Dreaming Amazonia will draw on the specific characteristics of these particular settings to create theatrical tension and imagery that will invite viewers to establish personal relationships and associations with the choreography. The main objective of this new work is not to establish a judgmental analysis, but to represent through dance complex and universal realities in the urban versus rural dichotomy. In particular, the work will focus on our relationship with various living environments, and the potential to transform ourselves and our surroundings as a result of our interaction with the world. Dreaming Amazonia will gather artists of various art forms and backgrounds. In Music, Cuban-American composer Orlando Garcia will create the original score to accompany the choreography. Jacek Kolasinski is the video artist, from Poland, who will make contributions to the project creating an installation at the performance site that audience members can interact with before and after the show, and that echoes the strong transformation element present in the choreography. Additionally, Dreaming Amazonia is currently being considered for commission through the Miami Made Program by the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County. The premiere of Dreaming Amazonia is scheduled for April 2009.
Other organizations that have committed funds for this project are the Funding Arts Network through the 2008 Community Arts Group Grant, and the State of Florida Division of Cultural Affairs through the Cultural Support Grant.

Did Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 make you cry?

Cry?
We hope not.
Buy?
Thousands already have.
The secret?
Emotion.
Throughout the promotion of Hypnotic
Marketing 2.0, it was emotion that helped slingshot HM2.0 to the top - becoming Joe's best-selling product ever.
Hidden deep within the emails and sales letter were traces of techniques that Joe teaches in his ebook, "Emotional Selling Tools".
See if you can spot 3 of them:
---> http://www.HypnoticMarketing.com/g.o/pegasuslm

"Emotional Selling Tools" has been a secret weapon many marketers refer back
to often to really get into the heads of their potential customers.
In fact, Joe uncovered 155 different ways to trigger consumers into making an emotional purchase.
155 different ways...
Most websites fail to use just one of these 155...
And when it comes to Social Media Marketing, emotional selling is rarely used.
Very few understand the true power of what emotional selling can do for their business.
In fact, for the last year, even if someone like you wanted to get a hold of "Emotional Selling Tools", it was impossible. It's been off of the market. And it's still off the market today.
However, for the first time in more than a year, "Emotional Selling Tools" is now being made available to the public. But there's one small catch. You need to own Hypnotic Marketing 2.0.

If you already own Hypnotic Marketing 2.0, be sure to log into your members area and refresh the page. You'll notice that there is a brand new link to download Joe's book, "Emotional Selling Tools"!
For those of you who have not ordered Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 yet... here's your chance to claim your copy of "Emotional Selling Tools", plus Hypnotic Marketing 2.0, PLUS all of the bonuses.

The "Emotional Selling Tools" book is worth the small investment of Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 alone!
---> http://www.HypnoticMarketing.com/g.o/pegasuslm

Remember, you'll not only get Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 and all of the bonuses you'll find on:
http://www.HypnoticMarketing.com/g.o/pegasuslm

... but you will also get two unadvertised bonuses:
1. Emotional Selling Tools
2. Hypnotic Blogging
This has become a massive course for Hypnotic Social Media Marketing that most other marketers would charge at least $597 for.

People still can't believe that we haven't raised the price of HM 2.0.
But we're going to VERY soon...
Hurry... Go to:
http://www.HypnoticMarketing.com/g.o/pegasuslm
To Your Success,
Lisa Merritt

P.S... By combining everything you'll
learn in HM 2.0, Hypnotic Blogging, and
Emotional Selling Tools, you will be well on your way to becoming a true social media marketing expert for your business.
Your competitors will have no idea what
hit them! But you'll know....
