Six Word Philanthropy Memoirs Contest
I read a review about an interesting book called Not Quite What I was Planning, which is filled with six word memoirs from famous and not so famous people. I love the idea of distilling your life story into six words and wondered if I could pack in my passion for the nonprofit sector and my love for staff development into six little words? I also wondered what sort of amazing 6 word manifestos you would come up with, so I am hosting a contest. From now until August 7th you can post your own 6 word memoir in the comments section of this post. There will be some sort of amazing prize for the winner, as determined by me. I could be more descriptive but what is better than a surprise prize?
My career in 6 words is:
Helping do gooders do good, better.

Free Demolition, call (you) @ (your number)
Those six words are worth $60 Billion in homes for the houseless.

Well said. Mine would be:
creating relationships through engaging community advocates…
It’s a work in process (maybe that’s a good one too.).
