Noble Partners

The Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) is the leading charity of Hollywood, representing the collective philanthropy of the television and film businesses.

EIF harnesses the power of the entire industry and channels its unique assets to raise awareness and fund critical social issues. Founded in 1942, the industry’s charity  was created by Hollywood legend Samuel Goldwyn, with the help of Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, and the Warner brothers, who believed that the entertainment industry was in a unique position to help others.

Most recently, EIF launched its ground-breaking, multi-year iParticipate campaign, which promotes a new way of thinking about service and seeks to motivate millions more Americans to volunteer regularly. As a centerpiece, beginning October 19, 2009, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and other broadcast networks will spotlight service through scripted programming, segments and PSAs during this week-long television event, with more than 70 shows participating. Visit www.iParticipate.org for more information.

EIF is a major force in the fight against cancer, raising critically needed dollars for research and treatment, fast-tracking the most promising science, and generating awareness. Last year EIF co-created the Stand Up To Cancer initiative,which has raised more than $100 million for cancer research to date, primarily in connection with a star-studded, road blocked network live telecast in September 2008 on ABC, CBS and NBC. Stand Up To Cancer recently awarded over $73 million in three-year grants to five multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary research “Dream Teams.” Visit www.SU2C.org for more information.

EIF has several other national initiatives; each raises awareness and significant funds for important social causes such diabetes awareness, creative arts, and education, and environment. Additionally, the organization annually awards grants to more than 300 worthy charities in the areas of children and youth, creative and performing arts, environment, family care, health, hunger and homelessness, and literacy and education.

TakePart.com is a new web platform where people making a difference in the world can tell their stories and more importantly drive people to take action. Recently launched as the official social action hub for Participant Media – the company that helped produce such films as “An Inconvenient Truth”, “Good Night, and Good Luck”, “Syriana”, “Murderball,” and most recently “Food, Inc.” – the site has grown to cover such topics as ocean health, global warming, nuclear proliferation and education. We believe that with the right information and tools for action, individuals can – and will – change the world. To that end, we are thrilled to be providing THE NOBLE AWARDS with a web platform to showcase the dedication, commitment and passion of the organizations they are honoring.

MESSAGE TO NGOS: Congratulations on your Noble Award! TakePart.com is inspired by your hard work and dedication to changing the world. We are thrilled to be offering THE NOBLE AWARDS a platform to showcase your work. Over the last couple of months the site has grown to cover a broad range of topics – from global warming to nuclear proliferation, education, and much more. We also provide a platform where people making a difference in the world can tell their stories and more importantly, drive people to take action. In conjunction with THE NOBLE AWARDS, we’ll be building web pages that feature a 1 minute video about your organization, paired with up to five things people can do to take part in your cause. We will include supporting media and relevant links back to your site. And as part of the Noble program we’ll feature your work throughout the year in conjunction with relevant issues and news.

Look to the Stars is the web’s number one source of celebrity charity news and information, covering what the top stars are doing to make a positive difference in the world. The site includes exclusive interviews and a database where fans can learn about their favorite stars’ good deeds.

Publications and websites such as Celebrity Society Magazine, Think MTV and E! Online come to us for information, and our broad readership includes fans and those working in the non-profit sector.
How we got started

The site was launched in 2006 by a husband-and-wife team, Steve & Myrlia Purcell, and is now the work of a large team of dedicated contributors.

Myrlia wanted to create a site to publicize the many wonderful things that celebrities are doing to help the world. We hope to help charities by inspiring their celebrity supporters’ fans to follow their heroes’ example.

Steve and Myrlia act as senior editors for a talented team of contributing writers, who are located across four continents.

The business of helping others is the most rewarding of all. Sometimes people find causes, other times causes find people, and such is the case with the eight founders of ONEHOPE. These young professionals have turned what started as a personal mission to help out a friend with her fight against cancer into a thriving business which is founded on a very basic, but compelling principle: giving back is good business. ONEHOPE isn’t a charity, but a for-profit enterprise that donates 50% of profits to partner charities through the creation of cause specific varietals of wine. We invite you to read on and learn about this exciting and growing movement.

We all have a cause we care about – whether it’s finding a cure for cancer, saving the environment, finding homes for abandoned pets or so many other worthwhile endeavors. But what we don’t all have is the time or money to support these efforts as much as we’d like. So, what if we could raise money for our favorite charities and schools by doing something we do every day — searching the Internet?

That’s the question Ken Ramberg (the former founder of JOBTRAK, now a division of Monster.com) and JJ Ramberg (an MSNBC anchor and the former Director of Marketing at Cooking.com) asked themselves a few years ago. After realizing what a fraction of the $8 billion generated annually by search engine advertisers could do if it were directed towards organizations trying to make the world a better place, they launched GoodSearch in 2005.

GoodSearch is a search engine which donates 50-percent of its revenue to the charities and schools designated by its users. It’s a simple and compelling concept. You use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine. Because it’s powered by Yahoo!, you get proven search results. The money GoodSearch donates to your cause comes from its advertisers — the users and the organizations do not spend a dime!

In 2007, GoodSearch was expanded to include GoodShop, an online shopping mall of world-class merchants dedicated to helping fund worthy causes across the country. Each purchase made via the GoodShop mall results in a donation to the user’s designated charity or school – averaging approximately 3% of the sale, but going up to 20% or even more.

Ken and JJ wanted to create a means to support charities so that people would say, “Why wouldn’t you do it?” That’s what GoodSearch does. Since it doesn’t cost anything and you get proven search results, there’s no reason not to use it!

GoodSearch is dedicated to Ken and JJ’s mother, who passed away from cancer and who taught them both that by working together with dogged dedication, we can really make this world a better place.

A Cup With A Cause

In 2010, 7-Eleven plans to donate millions of dollars to charities and causes, large and small.

Through the Cup With A Cause program, with the collaboration of THE NOBLE AWARDS, 7-Eleven will be producing an ongoing series of limited-time cups designed by celebrities, with a minimum of $250,000 being donated to each artist’s cause of choice.

Each cause will be exposed to 7-Eleven’s more than 6,000,000 customers a day.   The “Be A Noble” call to action will be on the cups – driving consumers to THE NOBLE AWARDS website as well as the 7-Eleven website, building nationwide awareness of organizations working toward the common good.

The program will kick off in February 2010 with the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation, with cups designed by Nicole Richie, Joel Madden and Benjie Madden.

Stay tuned for upcoming news and the celebrity line up for the year.
