Founded in 2008, Project 7 is the brainchild of founder Tyler Merrick, a.k.a. “the social capitalist”. He wanted to turn the 7 deadly sins upside down. For example, instead of focusing on a person who is gluttonous, focus on helping the person who has nothing to eat. Project 7’s goal is to make positive change in seven areas of global need.
Project 7 is giving away $105,000 to 7 different causes. It’s up to you who receives funding. Just visit their site, enter your email address, and vote for 1 of 3 causes in each category:
1. Heal the Sick
2. Save the Earth
3. House the Homeless
4. Feed the Hungry
5. Help Those in Need
6. Build the Future
7. Hope for Peace
For example, one of the finalists in the Feed the Hungry category is Action Against Hunger, who will put the $15,000 towards treating 75 severely malnourished children in the in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Learn more about Action Against Hunger.
