Building A Better World, One Domain At A Time
Can one domain make a difference? Issues like homelessness,
politics, war, and inequality seem so huge that it's easy to
feel powerless. That helpless feeling seems to depart, however,
as soon as you visit Grassroots.org; you discover that you not
only have the power to be a solution to the world's problems,
but you have the opportunity to stand up for the causes of a
better world. Read on to learn what Grassroots.org is up to and
how they are helping build a better world one domain at a time.
Not only can a domain have a direct impact on the world, but it
also sends a message to others by inspiring them to take action
that creates opportunities for positive social change on a local
and global level. Who better to illustrate how much a domain can
impact the world than Michael Mann, who in 2002 started
Grassroots.org, a provider of free Internet and business
services, i.e. domain names, hosting, email and consulting, to
qualified charities.
Michael Mann and Grassroots.org is planning on changing the
world slowly but surely by getting critical social facts to
people throughout the world thanks to their 600+ domain names.
They have a unique vision and understanding that the Internet
has the power to make the world a safer, happier, healthier
place by using advanced business and communications tools like
domain names, to gain leverage in spreading usable social
information. This strategy seems to be working as their vast
network of associated domain names are attracting loads of
traffic and receiving positive visitor comments.
Michael Mann is the executive director and founder of
Grassroots.org, a clearinghouse for the best selection of domain
names to build upon for humanitarian purposes to enable
non-profits and everyday citizens to conduct their charitable
activities online as efficiently as possible. In the past, he
has turned his business efficiency and marketing expertise into
a series of successful online companies, founding an Internet
ISP in 1994 (later sold to Verio, Inc. in 1998) and currently
residing as President of BuyDomains.com and Chairman
of
BrowserMedia.com. Over the last few years, Michael has been
involved with charities for a number of organizations including
working with the homeless, political action groups, and having
the proud achievement of serving as a volunteer Chairman for a
non-profit organization called Byte Back, which operates eight
computer training centers serving the poor and unemployed in the
inner-city.
As an expert in the domain industry, which is illustrated by his
position as president of BuyDomains.com, Michael is supporting
many causes by supplying 501c3 non-profit organizations an
opportunity to co-develop on a selection of 600+ domain names to
build upon for humanitarian purposes, including domains like
Homeless.org, Relief.org, Addicted.org, Starvation.org and more.
Michael's actions at Grassroots.org is helping the world grow
from the ground up, which in the Internet terms means using a
domain name as the foundation for each cause. GrassRoots.org's
understanding of the power behind a highly brand-able domain
name is evident in its strategy to improve the world's current
social, political, and economic problems.
A prime example of this power can be seen at EarthCare.org, a
domain name that was supplied and co-developed by
Grassroots.org. According to Grassroots.org, EarthCare's domain
name has been a key contributor to getting the group's message
heard: to educate and inspire youth to care for their
communities and the Earth. Their web site is helping educate
youth to create lifestyles that are beneficial to the natural
environment by engaging them in programs that implement
innovative environmental solutions. EarthCare.org, with the help
of Grassroots.org, demonstrates that a domain name and web site
have the power to communicate meaningful messages and
information that are contributing towards building a better
world.
