The Most Famous Website on Earth launched their innovative plan to inspire individuals and organizations to Claim their Fame for $1 and vote for a charity to win the title The Most Famous Charity on Earth 2009 and a donation to fuel their good works.
A 364 day race to motivate people and organizations to celebrate their famous nature began December 23, 2008. For $1 participants receive a printable PDF certificate of fame authenticating their status, recognition on our WebWall of Fame, a chance to vote for an international charity to receive 10% of the gross revenue of the site on day 365, and options to hyperlink one's name to a web address, or upgrade to add a picture or company logo.
“At a time of economic struggle for so many we are hoping that this will enable people to participate in giving by working with the principle The Value of One – The Power of Many", said Mike Jacobsen, President. "Most of us can still part with $1 and if our lofty goal of 10 million famous people is met, we will be able to donate over $1 million dollars to a charity that will use the money to enhance the world.”
Over 1500 charities were evaluated to select a final 15. Each organization has charitable status, utilizes at least 80% of their dollars for their cause, is global in nature, operates in multiple countries, or is of benefit to humankind in general. One vote will be given per certificate purchased. Votes will be tallied throughout the year and on day 365 one charity will be deemed, by no official standards of course, The Most Famous Charity on Earth 2009 and be given 10% of gross revenue from this website.
The Most Famous Website on Earth is an innovative idea and website, a 364 day online race, to ultimately inspire all able people and organizations to give at least 10% of their net earnings to charitable causes. For just $1, fame can be purchased online. In return participants receive a printable PDF Certificate of Fame, recognition on the WebWall of Fame, and a chance to vote for the charity which will receive 10% of the gross revenue of the site on day 365.
