Train for Humanity

By Joshua on September 09 2008

If you've been in your feedreader at all this morning, you may have noticed a lot of people talking about a new blogger-run nonprofit called Train for Humanity. I think that's totally awesome, particularly since I had the chance to design their website. :-)

What is Train for Humanity?

TFH is a nonprofit whose mission is to "unite the training efforts of everyday regular athletes and the power of social media and blogging to help raise funds and awareness for those who are suffering." In other words, welcome to nonprofits 2.0.

While the idea of nonprofits using social media is a powerful one, the problem is that social media is particularly hard for institutions to master. That's where the who comes in.

Who's behind Train for Humanity?

The guys behind Train for Humanity know exactly what social media is all about. They include:

There are also a whole bunch of other people who helped get things rolling.

Where does the money go?

For the launch phase, TFH is raising $50,000 to support the Darfur Peace & Development Organization, which provides humanitarian relief to victims of genocide in Darfur.
