Project: Greenleaf | Keep our Forest ENDLESS

April 20, 2009 - 11:00pm — LighttheSky

I've made up my mind and I'm asking any others who have done the same to join me!

This is not going to be an easy task and one person alone is NOT going to be able to manage it. But I've decided to dedicate myself to trying to make this work - and with the help of other's who are willing to do the same I BELIEVE we can do this!

... so without further babble I present to you:

It takes a lot of time, effort, and FUNDING to keep our forest running and without the funds we don't get updates or repairs. Without funding eventually we loose our Forest! The goal of Project Greenleaf is to help to provide the funding to keep our Forest running! We want to show our support to Auriea & Michaël and to let them know that WE LOVE OUR FOREST and want to see it continue to thrive and maybe even GROW!

We want to see our Forest continue and hopefully to stay free-to-play, since paying a fee each month would seriously take away from the very nature of TEF. By promoting donations specifically to The Endless Forest and raising funds for the same goal we hope to help make a dent in the expenses of keeping our Forest running!

.
.
.
This is a big job - and it's going to take a lot of dedication in order for this project to succeed - but we believe that it IS possible for us to make a difference if we work together to do so!

Donations to TEF are fantastic and if you can afford to do so we will always encourage it! However, everyone has their own motivation and we understand that sometimes you want to get a little something more back - So Project Greenleaf is seeking MEMBERS to assist in our fund raising efforts!

We are looking for:

Members to help organize fund raising, put together project ideas, and help coordinate our efforts.
Members who are willing to create TEF related artwork, jewelry, plushies, etc. & donate a portion of their profits to TEF.
People who want to donate directly to TEF.
People who are willing to purchase commissions/products through Project Greenleaf to help fund TEF.**
People who are willing to post a link to Project Greenleaf in their posts/journals etc. and to help spread the word!

If you can't do anything else - PLEASE link this project post in your journals/signatures/where ever to show support.
(we even made you a pretty banner for it!)
Even if you can't donate, participate in sales, or help any other way getting the word around does an enormous amount!! EVERY PERSON COUNTS!

Right now we are in our 'collecting members' phase - once we have a large enough list of people to start, we'll work together to help everyone get set up and work out the details! So don't let the phrase "I don't know how" keep you from trying - we'll be here to help!

.

Michael and Auriea have given us a button!! Now you can donate directly to Project Greenleaf/The Endless Forest! Shop-owners feel free to add this button to your store fronts & buyers, note that there are a few shops that will take your direct donations as 'payment' for their services! <3

Donate Directly Project Greenleaf & TeF! Keep our Forest growing!

We encourage responsibility! If you are underage PLEASE get your parents permission before donating/purchasing from shop owners!

Also - for those of us who are in the United States and bad with numbers, here's an online currency rate converter to help you understand the amounts! <3

Update: June 17th, 2009 | Ugh I have been so busy lately with real life that I've been a little slow on keeping up with updates. <3 I'm going to continue to be a bit occupied elsewhere as we ready for our summer vacation, but I'll be doing my best to keep things up to date.

On another note however I would truly like to hear any ideas that anyone else has for the project! I know that I do not have the time away from my family life to be able to run the project in any more serious a way than it is at the moment, but I am seriously dedicated to seeing it continue and I know that there are others who feel the same way.

Update: May 18th, 2009 Doe has started us a Greenleaf DA club!!! <333 CHECK IT OUT!!! http://project-green-leaf.deviantart.com <3333 I think this is a great way to show off our wares & maybe even increase the potential for outside-the-forest buyers for forest ware! <333 Thanks so much Doe! <3333

Great idea, could you put me

Great idea, could you put me down as a supporter? Also are 'crafts' limited to physical crafts like jewellery or digital art etc. ? I'd love to help coordinate but I am not sure what that requires.

Since part of the proceeds

Since part of the proceeds from the Ballet are going to Project Greenleaf, would any artists be interested in providing items for fundraising? You will be compensated (we will work out the details with individual artists) and it will be a chance to get your work out to an even wider audience.

Fahnette - < O_____o! > I'd

Fahnette - < O_____o! > I'd be willing to make a couple beaded/leafed headdresses & plenty of foresty-hair clips for the dancers! I have lots of ivy leaves left over from a previous project that would be lovely for them. Would that be something you'd be interested in? *really needs to post the pics of the 'fairy' woodland headdress she made for a roommate a couple months ago now...*

OOooooooooo yes please. If

OOooooooooo yes please. If you could get a shot of the headdress I'll be happy to show it to my co-director/Mum and now that I think about it, pretty ivy-leaf-beady hair things would be a REALLY cool gift for the dancers.

Mick - <3 I have no idea how

Mick - <3 I have no idea how we would work out using writing commissions without forming a committee & undertaking the massive project of publishing a book of endless tales for the forest.... the very idea gets enormous rather quickly and I have no idea were we would even start.

I plan to try, eventually, but right now the chaos is trying to eat me quickly enough that it's all I can do to keep myself from drowning in it. < T-T >
