The New York Times reports that "Twestival," the multi-city gathering of people who a) use Twitter and b) care about the world's water supply, is taking a number of approaches to raise money:
On Feb. 12, more than 200 cities worldwide will hold events to foster networking within local Twitter communities as well as raise funds for charity: water, a nonprofit that installs wells and rainwater harvesting systems in developing countries.
...
In addition to collecting contributions online, Twestival events are using various methods to raise money for charity: water. Some are selling tickets, while others will have free admission and raffle off donated items. Ms. Rose also set up a streaming music site, called Twestival.fm to generate additional donations. Music fans can leave a donation in exchange for listening to songs donated by musicians like the experimental pop chanteuse Imogen Heap, the indie rockers Bloc Party and a Brazilian electro-outfit, Bonde do Role.
And it was just yesterday that we posted a story on a company harnessing the power of the Internet to create collective bargaining for green goodness.
If your city isn't holding a Twestival event (bottom right of this site for a list) or if you're priced out, you can donate in small amounts, follow the action on Twitter, or just read up and talk about water with your friends and family.
