Read on.

 

OzIDEAS is a place to find out about new ideas, and to send in your own to the Global Ideas Bank. Ideas can be sent from home, school or office.
Your ideas can be brilliant, zany or simple.
State the problem that your idea helps to solve in a short sentence, set out your idea in under 250 words, and add any further information, as a file for downloading.
This is a way that you can do something about those good ideas that you have and find out about the successful projects of others.
Ideas are fun to think up, and they stop your brain going rusty.
Practical action is a sporting challenge.
Ideas can be as simple as a fun idea for a party, as high-powered as a different money system, or seem as zany and ridiculous as going to the Moon was always thought to be until fifty years ago.

We also hope to publish in print. The originators of good ideas deserve recognition, and their ideas should be spread as widely as possible. It is hard to get publicity for Australian ideas in our media - an Internet site like the Global Ideas Bank can give everyone an opportunity.

WE ALSO LINK TO THE

Global Ideas Bank!

SEND your ideas and projects to the

Suggestions Box!

 of the Global Ideas Bank, so that they can be seen, discussed and rated by other readers, and will be entered for the annual £1,000 UK sterling prizes awarded annually for the best socially innovative non-technological ideas and projects. For details see the Global Ideas Bank.

The new online Global Ideas Bank Suggestion Box has 25 categories to choose from, ranging from 'education' and 'health' to 'politics' and 'international',

* Ideas and projects that make life better
* Ideas about inventions needed to solve problems
* Ideas to think about
* Concepts for the 21st Century
* Projects on the go
* In the news - ideas about current topics

AND FOR

2002 OzALTERNATIVS for the Millennium

"What's in a millennium for me?"

   Send to find out more about the Australian version of the Global Idas Bank and the Institute for Social Inventions, become a founding member, contribute your own ideas, or make a large donation to costs and advancement of the Australian Centre for Social Innovations

(The reason why any donation has to be very large is because recent bank and government innovations mean that:
Unless a starting donation is over $500 and more is likely to come in, the banks would charge too high fees to make a bank account worth operating.
ACSION does not have the personnel to work out all the GST, ABNs and paperwork that would be involved in receiving donations to a non-registered non-profit organisation, or the capacity to register.

Needed ideas! How to obtain funding without headaches like those!
