This month, we proudly announced the winner of our 2007 RapidGrant program. For those who don’t know, RapidGrant is a program we launched last month as a way to recognize non-profit MyQuire members who are innovative in their approaches to the problem they’re working to address. We were blown away by the applications we received. We heard from people across the country who are working around the world to improve people’s lives, protect animals, and save our environment. It was a pretty tough process but we had to choose a single grant recipient out of the pile of inspirational groups who applied. The organization we chose is called Redemption, a non-profit organization whose mission is to increase the educational advancement of underserved youth between the ages of 13 and 19 residing in Brooklyn, New York. They inspired us by taking such a hands-on approach to giving students the support they need to reach their potential.

Tiffany Tucker, Executive Director of Redemption, told us they were faced with the challenges of coordinating a growing non-profit and dealing with the headaches of having a distributed team working on projects. “We heard about MyQuire and quickly found it was the tool we needed to solve our logistical problems and coordinate our teams,” says Tiffany. “We wanted to get our volunteers on the same page, so we know who’s working on what, and where we can find the latest versions of our documents, schedules and tasks. MyQuire is such a relief – it changes the way we work together to make things so much easier.”

Please join us in congratulating Redemption or better yet, add Tiffany Tucker to your network and send her a message.
