Pledgers can choose to become involved in both global and local initiatives.</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-points-of-interest"> <div class="field-items"> </div> </div> http://www.netsquared.org/pledgebank#comments mysociety mysociety.org pledgebank Alliance/common cause Fundraising Internal collaboration Issue awareness Social networking Thu, 20 Oct 2005 20:01:53 -0400 Deborah Elizabeth Finn 108 at http://www.netsquared.org
