I just came across in “The Economist” a novel way to get funding for books and research projects.

Crowd Funding

In essence… ” The (publishing) business needs fresh ideas. Enter Unbound, a British effort to “crowd-fund” books. Visitors to its website can pledge money for a book that is only part-written. If enough money is raised, the author can afford to finish it—and the pledgers will get a copy.”

Strikes me as something the Vincentians might use. Check out the link above. I would be happy to post news of such requests to famvin.org in the hopes of alerting members of the Vincentian Family to something that they might be interested in funding in “microfinance” size contributions.
