Overview

Bullying is a universal issue that affects everyone directly and/or indirectly. Bullying affects everyone regardless of age, language, culture, socio-economic background, size, sex or religion. Bullying is not simply a "School" issue, it is a broader community health and wellness issue. Since is was first launched on February 16th 2000, www.bullying.org has hosted millions of visitors and contributors from across Canada and around the world. It was chosen for the ChildNet International Award as a project that makes the Internet better for youth, also a finalist for the Stockholm Challenge Award, often called the "Prize of the Information Technology world". CBC TV News anchor Peter Mansbridge, referred to www.bullying.org as "One of the best Websites in the world for young people." This project plan is direct and clear, if successful, the entire $5000 grant will be used to keep the Website www.bullying.org online for all Canadians to benefit from by paying for its' annual hosting costs.

Community Benefit

This project will benefit anyone who is trying to deal with the issue of bullying in their lives or those they care for. This project will provide online education, support and inspiration through the power of the Website www.bullying.org. If enough support is received for this grant, www.bullying.org will continue to to be available to any Canadian, anywhere in our vast land, any time it is needed. Since www.bullying.org was first launched on February 16th, 2000 every personal, story, poem, drawing, song. animation and video, as well as every reply has been viewed and moderated to keep the Website safe for all. www.bullying.org helps Canadians learn and understand that: 1) They are NOT alone (in dealing with bullying) 2) It is NOT their fault (to be bullied) and 3) There ARE many positive things they can do about it.
