Are you looking for new fundraising models that are fun, engaging and use the social web?  Come hear Matt Flannery, CEO and Co-Founder of Kiva.org, the first Web site to let anyone with a PayPal account be a "banker to the poor", and Pim Techamuanvivit (Chez Pim) a food blogger who raised $17,000 for UNICEF with her 2005 Menu for Hope campaign.

They'll both be speaking at the next Net Tuesday in San Francisco on December 12th, from 6-8 PM at Citizen Agency’s Citizen Space (425 Second St. #300).

You can RSVP on Upcoming, NetSquared’s Meetup, or by emailing: net2@techsoup.org.

Here's more info about our speakers:

Matt Flannery began developing Kiva.org in late 2004 as a side-project while working as a computer programmer at TiVo Inc. In December 2005 Matt left TiVo to devote himself to Kiva.org full-time. As CEO, Matt is a 2006 Global Social Benefit Incubator entrepreneur and a featured blogger on the Skoll Foundation's Social Edge website. He graduated with a BS in Symbolic Systems and a Masters in Analytical Philosophy from Stanford University. You can read Matt's blog "The Kiva Chronicles" on Social Edge here.

Pim Techamuanvivit grew up in Bangkok, was shipped off to study in other places, and somehow found herself living and loving it in the San Francisco Bay Area. She quit her Silicon Valley job in 2005 to pursue a career in food: the writing, reporting, and basically anything interesting thereof that comes her way. Her recipes, writings, and photographs have since appeared in the New York Times, Food & Wine Magazine, Bon Appétit magazine, among others.   You can read Pim’s blog, “Chez Pim” here.
