The spaces are flexible and can be used in a number of simple ways:

  • A .jpg poster with a link to your website
  • A treasure chest of your products with a link to your online store
  • A short video showcasing your work (if available as a quicktime .mov online or upload to Blip.tv to get a URL)
  • An audio introduction to your work (if available as streaming .mp3 audio URL)
  • One of your bags created with a link to fill the bag for someone else (could give away free bags inworld)
  • Space for a donation tip jar for your avatar to receive financial gifts in Lindens
  • An RSS feeder to keep your news reports available (costs under $1, this is a tool I purchase, not my scripts)
  • A detailed immersion room, a learning hut or skysphere lab (bring your talent to build and we'll facilitate and help you grow)
  • A book created of your work uploaded as .jpg images

I can personally donate an hour or two of time to help anyone who wants to join us; that time will be used finding the right space and bringing in a placeholder logo and link to get you started. I sometimes teach building classes for other nonprofit leaders that you'd be welcome to sit in on if you'd like to do something more elaborate or we have interns and builders available low-cost if that's of value to you. Video and audio is very easy in some locations, almost impossible in others; placement would be the key to success and it's helpful if you've got a good idea what you'd like to see happen inworld.

There are other more traditional nonprofit offices available for free through TechSoup/CompuMentor at their Nonprofit Commons; I'll be speaking from there at Games4Change on Monday morning (both in NYC and in Second Life). The Nonprofit Commons is a community of 30 NGOs and social ventures (501(c)3 is not a requirement) who were given free space and have provided offices for groups as diverse as Merlin and International Humanities Center, the Alzheimer Society of Ontario and Idealist.
