TakePart.com is an independent online community that connects its members directly to the issues that inspire them to engage, contribute and take action.

Through Members Project, American Express is providing funding to charities, focusing on five different areas of expertise - Arts & Culture, Community Development, Education, Environment & Wildlife and Health & Wellness.

Every three months, five new charities will receive funding from American Express, but they need your help deciding who to give it to. They are asking for people to rally behind the charities of their choice and vote.  You can find out more at http://takepart.com/membersproject .

Everyone can help change the world for the better, one step at a time. American Express has joined with TakePart.com to bring you opportunities to make a difference and provide a platform to express your passion – in small manageable steps.

• Whether it’s voting for a favorite charity to receive funding from American Express, volunteering time, donating, or telling friends, everyone can take a small step with Members Project and start making a difference.
• Volunteer at charities that American Express helps you find and get Membership Rewards® points for doing so.
• Vote once per week for the causes American Express should fund.  Members Project is donating $200K to five causes every three months.  This quarter’s voting ends May 24, 2010.
• Donate money or Membership Rewards® points to one of each voting period’s 50 selected charities, or choose from over 1 million other charities.
• Share your involvement with the program to inspire and encourage others to participate.
