The Who, What, and How of New Sun Rising

Sun, 11/01/2009 - 22:31 — swolovich

Established in 2005 following Hurricane Katrina, and local flooding resulting from Hurricane Ivan; New Sun Rising supports grass roots projects in the Pittsburgh region through fiscal sponsorship.  We seek to help ideas become reality: by 'connecting the dots' of support for our projects, providing 501c3 status, allowing access to a subscription grant database, issuing discounted and free software through Tech Soup, awarding an annual $500 First Ray grant, and the logistical support of our existing network of community partners and volunteers.

Vision and Mission of NSR

New Sun Rising’s vision is to become the grass-roots option for creative solutions in the community by providing fiscal sponsorship to adopted projects. Through identifying and promoting ideas aligned with our values, we emphasize: ease of process, efficient use of resources, and effectiveness of support.

Mission: New Sun Rising exists as a non-profit organization that launches projects to positively impact cultural, environmental, and social wellness.  Our organization creates measurable change through projects primarily affecting the region of Western PA through direct action, education, social service, goods, and training.

Take a seat behind the director's chair, as Barry blogs about our first official video shoot at the Duquesne University Media Center (www.zombieopera.com).  The Zombie Opera is still looking for extras to appear in the video, and you can notify 'Zombie Wrangler' Jill Egyud of your interest on their website.  There are also location needs for shooting, including the search for a local beer to be featured in the show.  If you can assist with any of these items, or have the unfulfilled desire to be a Zombie, take a deeper look at www.zombieopera.com.
