Call for proposals from potential beneficiaries!

Hello!

Phnom Penh is proud to be a participant in the 2009 V-Day Campaign. We have been granted the rights for a V-Day production of The Vagina Monologues to raise money and awareness for local organizations that work to stop violence against women and girls. The play will be performed in February 2009.

In 2008, over 4000 V-Day benefit events took place, produced by volunteer activists in 120 countries around the world, educating millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls both locally and globally. In 2009 Phnom Penh will be one of thousands of events around the world channeling their creative energy into making a difference as part of the V-Day Campaign. It is our intention to make V-Day 2009 Phnom Penh a huge success, and we are considering your organization as a potential beneficiary of our event.

Part of what makes this event so special is the opportunities it offers to organizations like yours - to participate in this global movement, to celebrate and honor the women and girls in our community, to educate our community about your important work, to be part of a collective voice, a voice that refuses to be ignored, a voice that says NO to violence against women and girls.

We will be donating all profits from our event to one local organisation working to stop violence against women and girls and we are offering you an opportunity to be that organisation. But we want to do more than just give you money; we want to include you in our event in as many ways as you want to be involved, from speaking to us and our audience about your work, to having an information table at our event, to helping us plan, to inviting your staff and supporters to attend our event, and so much more. There is so much that we can do together!

In addition to receiving money from our event, as a beneficiary of V-Day 2009 Phnom Penh, your organisation’s name will appear in our promotional and publicity materials and in our performance program.

To enable us to choose one beneficiary, from the many organizations working to eliminate violence against women in Cambodia, we would appreciate it if you could fill in the attached questionnaire, and return it to us by December 10th. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
E-mail: cambodianmonologues@gmail.com
Questionnaire:

1. What is your organisation doing to stop violence against women and girls?
2. What are the main obstacles you face in your work?
3. What have you achieved/succeeded in so far?
4. Who funds you, and are you adequately funded for the year 2009?
5. What would you be able to achieve with a small grant ($2,000-$5,000)?
