Dear friends and colleagues,
Today, Tuesday, December 3rd is #GivingTuesday, an international celebration of generosity and the support of nonprofits through crowdsourced philanthropy. The 24-hour online fundraising event helps nonprofits like the World Listening Project appeal to people who make charitable gifts at the end of each calendar year, as in some nations like the USA, such donations are tax deductible.
What does the volunteer run World Listening Project need its funds for?

“Sometimes we walk on the ground, sometimes on sidewalks or asphalt, or other surfaces. Can we find ground to walk on and can we listen for the sound or sounds of ground? Are we losing ground? Can we find new ground by listening for it?”—Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016)
In addition to this year’s theme, WLD 2017 reflects and honors the life and legacy of Pauline Oliveros, who died at age 84 on 26 November 2016.
