We need a radio talk-back for good ideas by Australians
We need features in the press to encourage good ideas by
Australians
We need patrons
We need a skilled grant-organizer
We need schools and community groups to send in
good ideas and develop their own projects
And
Take up some of these good ideas yourselves -
and make them better
Read on.
OzIDEAS is a
place to find out about new ideas, and to send in your own to the
Global Ideas Bank. Ideas can be sent from home, school or
office.
Your ideas can be brilliant, zany or simple.
State the problem that your idea helps to solve in a short
sentence, set out your idea in under 250 words, and add any
further information, as a file for downloading.
This is a way that you can do something about those good ideas
that you have and find out about the successful projects of
others.
Ideas are fun to think up, and they stop your brain going
rusty.
Practical action is a sporting challenge.
Ideas can be as simple as a fun idea for a party, as high-powered
as a different money system, or seem as zany and ridiculous as
going to the Moon was always thought to be until fifty years
ago.

We also hope to publish in print. The originators of good ideas
deserve recognition, and their ideas should be spread as widely as
possible. It is hard to get publicity for Australian ideas in our
media - an Internet site like the Global Ideas Bank can give everyone
an opportunity.
WE
ALSO LINK TO THE Global
Ideas Bank!

OzALTERNATIVS for the Millennium
"What's in a
millennium for me?"
Send to find out more about the Australian
version of the Global Idas Bank and the Institute for Social
Inventions, become a founding member, contribute your own ideas, or
make a large donation to costs and advancement of the Australian
Centre for Social Innovations
(The reason why any donation has to be very large is because
recent bank and government innovations mean that:
Unless a starting donation is over $500 and more is likely to come
in, the banks would charge too high fees to make a bank account worth
operating.
ACSION does not have the personnel to work out all the GST, ABNs and
paperwork that would be involved in receiving donations to a
non-registered non-profit organisation, or the capacity to
register.
Needed ideas! How to obtain funding
without headaches like those!
