In the past, I couldn’t

blog about an activity that’s taken a lot of my time over the last six months:

namely, fundraising for CIRCLE.

Now that the grants have been approved and announced, I’m happy to say that The

Pew Charitable Trusts and Carnegie Corporation

of New York have come through for us, generously giving CIRCLE a budget of

almost $4 million for the 2003-5 period.

Meanwhile, for those who are doing

civic work with youth and the Internet, here’s a great

discussion forum on the ContentBank website.
