Note to the viewer:
The following was first published in October, 2014 as an updated "About Us" in Geitoniamas.net.
In 2016, due to the bankrupsy of our template provider we had to reconstruct new template that would be able to take applications, extentions and plugin in's updates. We had not been able since then to overcome some tecnical difficulties one of which would have been a cell phone app that would have redefined functionality, marketing and organization of Geitonia Mas as an updated version of the core principals that Geitonia Mas stands for. Below content was orginally published in an app that would have been much more user friendly and is stripped of photo's etc.
The company has been "frozen" for now.
Feel free to comment below.
WELCOME TO "GEITONIA MAS"
Key words: non-profit, crowd funding tool, social entrepreneurship, social capital, social cohesion, social media network, interactive with real life, make a positive return to society your purpose and have fun.
Geitonia Mas is Greek Forf"Our Neighborhood"
♦is a non-profit independent and non-aligned open- system social network company. It is unique site.
♦provides the services to a community as a crowd-funding tool.
♦publishes on-line income and expense accounts for transparency and to those who wish to keep up with the economic developments of the company in an open system.
♦funds are exclusively from private/corporate sources such as on-line advertisement, corporate and private donations, etc. We wish no funding from government or European package funds.
In short
As a crowd-funding tool for a neighborhood,
profits from the sale of the site’s
on-line advertising are distributed
between active neighborhoods’
on-line coffers. In return, the coffers
serve to microfinance neighborhood's
winning ideas.
Still fewer words:
We sell ads, make money. Money goes to good causes.
And you have fun!
Change the world! Simplε!!
We are here to help you make a positive return to society by helping your purpose.
Our mission is to strive to make Social entrepreneurship more engaging, easy, quick and fun. Here is a nice excerpt on Social Entrepreneurship from Wikipedia:
"… is the process of pursuing innovative solutions to social problems. More specifically, social entrepreneurs adopt a mission to create and sustain social value. They draw upon appropriate thinking in both the business and nonprofit worlds and operate in a variety of organizations: large and small; new and old; religious and secular; nonprofit, for-profit, and hybrid. Business entrepreneurs typically measure performance in profit and return, but social entrepreneurs also take into account a positive return to society. Social entrepreneurship typically furthers broad social, cultural, and environmental goals and is commonly associated with the voluntary and not-for-profit sectors.[2] Profit can at times also be a consideration for certain companies or other social enterprises." Source
Unlike all social entrepreneurs, Geitonia Mas is not seeking for investors or stakeholders. We do not seek funding from government or European packages. We do this in order to avoid any misunderstandings about what our purpose is. Such misunderstandings would only breed mistrust, and in turn, shake credibility, cohesion and free expression to all involved.
A. We wish to remain independent and non-aligned as a buffer zone and a safety net for society, policymakers, and the private sector.
B. We sell ads and net profits (we do have expenses that should be accounted for) go to the neighborhoods.
C. We do accept donations, however very little attention is given to generating a donation fund-raising strategy. We prefer services offered on behalf or "Geitonia Mas" such as article translations, computer program maintenance, posting and crowdsourcing for either advertisers or new members.
D. Though our advertising services are for large and small companies, we target on supporting the efforts of small and localized businesses with an inexpensive advertising.....(for more info- Marketing Department- but, please continue with About us).
An example of active neighborhood-visit Eastside Marousi.
JUST A FEW MORE WORDS- THE 2 WAY SYSTEM
Hey, you came to the right neighborhood. This is for everyone. And we need everyone!
You say you have no purpose? Oh..my..one of those....But, no problem..You came to the right 
place!!! Read a bit further down.
You say you have no time. Oh...but no problem. This is internet and it is easy. Everything is quick here. If you have 5-10 minutes a day, a week or even a month...Fine, we will start you off.. just read a bit further down.
You say you have no money? No problem. We have just the right activity for you. “Geitonia Mas” was designed to encompass the principals of empowerment, enhance awareness and engagement of one’s community to make problem solving more transparent, quick, efficient and fun. Hint: it is not an issue of money; it is an issue of good will. Now...Now...We will get to everthing...just a bit further down.
But, you should first have this in mind:
Geitonia Mas has a 2-way funding system that awards a winning idea either by
1. Polls for major neighborhood projects
It is up to each community or neighborhood to decide what they consider to be "major". This is grassroots democracy in action. The Neighborhood Management panel is equipped with blogs and forums and a special tool for project presentations. Everyone has a voice. As an example of a major cause: the neighborhood high school idea competes with the elementary school. 40% of the coffer's revenues' goes towards a major cause.
2. Kenos social unit system
Kenos social unit system is for smaller projects in the neighborhood or national/global projects that lack the voting volume in a neighborhood. Kenos (comes from Greek word for social) social units are points won by user engagement by a variety of on-line activities. User/friend keeps track of amount of kenos by logging onto their profile. Points and awards icons are posted on profile accounts. At the end of an economic cycle, user distributes the kenos that they have managed to have accumulate for that period of time to an idea of their choice- PTA’s , charity funding or any idea that is posted in their neighborhood or to global and national causes listed on front page management panel.). For an example, it is hard for a kindergarten project to compete with an elementary school or a high school due to voter volume. 60% of the coffer's revenues' go towards Kenos.

Geitonia Mas: Interactive with real life
|
|
For both systems, we request that advertisers be present to hand out awards at award winning ceremonies on behalf of "Geitonia Mas"-the crowd-funding tool. It is a good public relations event for both small and large business and demonstrates accountability from a neighborhood towards their sponsers.

Founder and Administrator of "Geitonia Mas"
Anastasia Christakos Gritzalis
Greek-American and a dyslexic.
Neighborhood bookstore owner in Eastside Marousi since 1988.
BA in History and Philosophy.
Married to George Gritzalis in 1983 and mother of Maria Anais Gritzalis
Independent researcher
Founding of "Geitonia Mas"
The idea of "Geitonia Mas" was conceived in January of 2009. It was during that time that Anastasia began to learn how use the internet.
After one year, a handful of people met to discuss the content of the site.
In the summer of 2010 and after many false starts, the company’s charter was drafted and was registered. The site aired that September.
Much confusion was brought about the nature of the site because of the lack in design and functionality. See old site at http://geitoniamas.net/palio/ .
Site was done anew and restructured in summer of 2014 with the help of two volunteer web masters Zoe Spathi and Korina Vailia.
“Geitonia Mas” was up and running by mid-September,2013.
Oh..no! It's a start-up again
Because of the time lapse between being off-line and re-airing of Geitonia Mas” had to be managed as a startup from the start all over again.
It was to be expected from a new system that many tweaks and quirks would appear when more than 40 programs, many, many modules, 1880 forums, more than 350 blogs are running simultaneously.
But worse, "Geitonia Mas" had to reestablish past relationships and ties with viewers and users.
Presentations & Recognition of "Geitonia Mas"
May,12,2012
University of Athens Presentation:
Presentation of "Geitonia Mas" at Dr. Dimitri Gouskos’s postgraduate class for the Kapadostriako School of Communications and New Technologies of the University of Athens.
October, 2013
Presentation for the EUTIC In Waterford,Ireland
"Geitonia Mas" presented as on-going study: The Changing Nature of Community and Social Engagement through ICT Case Study:Geitoniamas.net. Author: Christakos Anastasia Co-Author: Rentzeperis Dionysis to EUTIC 2013 IX International Symposium held at Waterford, Ireland.
The presentation was more of an introductory to our research. However, for it to be fully completed with substantial amount of data points to support our arguments and to complete our studies, it will take more time in the coming. We are still in alpha stage.
Sam Harris and “Lying”
In August of 2012, world-renowned philosopher and neuroscientist Sam Harris offered the rights to the "Our Neighborhood" for the Greek translation of the work of “Lying”
It was a very generous and touching gesture on his behalf and one which we will always think of dearly. Many thanks to our volunteer translator, Photini Alabala who did a great job translating Mr. Harris work from English to Greek
The System Works
Eastside Marousi is the neighborhood used as a petri dish experiment. This means all efforts concentrate on one neighborhood to see the advantages and disadvantages in the system.
In May of2012, the first award winning ceremony was was a big success. One middle school and one elementary competed in polls for the award. However, it was observed that smaller groups were at a disadvantage to compete. Therefore, to insure increasing participation and a more equal opportunity system for smaller groups, the decision was taken for a soon as possible restructuring of the site.
Marketing and other activities were placed on the backburner till the new sites was up and running.
Currently, Geitonia Mas has been averaging 22,000 visitations per month “Geitonia Mas” runs on a joomla system with more than 450 licensed plugins, modules, etc. 1880 forums, and more than 350 blogs.
With most of the tweaks out of the way in the new system that constantly emerged, the time has come for a more aggressive marketing campaign.
And yet we are taxed
The Greek crisis measures include taxing non-profits companies.
We are charged the flat tax of 500 € per year regardless of profits.
We also pay 26% taxes from the profit and 23% VAT from the sale of ads

Some notes on the Benefacting Public Relations Participation Tool
Some Notes on the "benefacting public relations participation tool"
1) Geitonia Mas sells ads to crowd fund neighborhoods; therefore, Geitonia Mas is the benefactor of the cause. Geitonia Mas acknowledges that no such act could have been done without the help of their associates or colleagues: advertisers, volunteers, mentors and coordinators. "Geitonia Mas" asks from associates or colleagues to be present and represent "Geitonia Mas" at the real-life location ceremony awards.
2) Added value proposition: Provide an opportunity for advertiser with a "hands on management” facilitator of social values and principals and social capital by way of public relations in an active participation for social impact by providing solutions within their community as a member of society as a whole. This year we are offering an All-inclusive Advertising Campaign with Gift Plus Options to our advertisers as a tool to engage their customers to "Geitonia Mas"
3) Extra Kenos: a 5% -10% increase to Kenos accumulated on Profile will be granted to advertisers to give towards a cause or an idea of their choice. Hint: it would be smart of advertisers to propose and post ideas for the neighborhood or community in neighborhood panel. National cause or charity which involves many neighborhoods- special exception will be given to be posted in all neighborhoods with insigna of advertisers proposal and advertisers name and logo.
4. “Geitonia Mas” profile and neighborhood page structures place a shift from individual to an emphasis on group mentality and teamwork. Advertisers do not advertise to consumers, but rather to humans who consume to continue life’s processes. Whether just hanging out in the crowd or participating as a neighborhood or community problem-solver, individuals are empowered to making the choice of doing so. In other words, "reach out" and "reach in" are redefined in a new systemic- a total neighborhood platform for each neighborhood.
We Fill the Market Gaps in Advertising
We fill the market gaps in Advertising in the following areas:
1. Localization and target market groups: a neighborhood at a time.
2. A new platform in social (media) marketing that provides an all-inclusive one-stop internet-marketing plan for a business to advertise within a community or neighborhood. Unique Business Gift Plus advertising campaign and Sponsor a Whole Neighborhood Campaign (Mega Sponsor-Mega Deal) offered- click to see details in Advertising Department.
3. High Product Brand and/or Services Visibility: we have integrated your marketing campaign into a social entrepreneurship scheme that would insure you a constant high product brand/services visibility and exposure, without the aggressive and tiring for the counsumer Google remarketing tactics.
Other than the "benefacting public relations participation tool" other services offered by Geitonia Mas are the traditional banners, coupons, vouchers, deals and Facebook, Tweeter, Google and Pin Interest shout boxes are provided to convert advertisers' audience to Geitonia Mas.
Hint: the "analytics" for an advertiser is in the amount of profile conversions (either individuals or businesses) from other social media networks towards Geitonia Mas Profiles that the advertiser has accomplished. An advertiser draws attention to their business by drawing attention to profile conversions. This is a part of the "benefecting public relations tool" but other incentives such as bonuses and discounted advertisement packages are included.
Attention to Social Media Marktets, Human Resources, and Public Relations and Marketers : Take Advantage of Your New Job Description
Tip to all social media marketers, marketing and public relations: You can't depend on Facebook, LinkedIn and etc. forever as your engagement sources. To increase visibility and exposure to your clients product brands/services, add Geitonia Mas to your list of social media engagement networks ...
Geitonia Mas provides a new job description for you. As an example, visualize when the time comes and you will have to representyour company at an award winning ceremony (real life location) event (one of the "benefacting public relations participation tools"). You will be needed. "It comes with the job" takes on a whole new meaning here in “Geitonia Mas”.
Why would you care to add more responsibilities to your work load?
We live in a "shifting sands" age when it comes to the job market and opportunities. What educational degrees and know-how you might now possess may not apply at all in the future. To survive in this work enviorment, one must be agile enough to aquire new skills that are in demand. However, by taking control of your own job description, you will also take control and secure your own career. This makes it harder for someone else to fill in the job requirements that you yourself have defined and worked for.
Thank-you and we look forward to your remarks, suggestions and proposals in the forum.
"Geitonia Mas Non-Profit Company" has many aspirations for the future. We forsee that "Geitonia Mas" will have the potential to create and offer the following job opportunities posted in the Human Resources Department. Take a peek!

Welcome to the Project Development Department.
Welcome to the Project Development Department.
This is the place where we make ideas happen!
The Project Development Section is the section where we mold an idea into a detailed project plan in order to ensure the outcome and success of that idea.
If you have a bright idea for "Geitonia Mas" open a thread in the Forum below. Feel free to open as many threads/ideas as you wish. Engage your friends or associates in the discussion.
Ideas are proposed and polled in Project Development Forum, and then are placed in motion with the help of the Project Manager. Buttons for the Project Manager, Forum and Blog are located at the end of this article
In Project Manager, we define clear targets and goals . Our project manager has "it all" to help everyone to work out the process: check lists, milestones, time spans, costs and much more. All projects are open for public viewing. Keep in mind though, you must open a profile account and sign in to have a visual of the dashboard and all its functions. To post and update your project, click on button to contact us and ask for a Project Dashboard Functions' Access Code
♦There may be times that the person who came up with the winning idea in the forum, but actually has no clear cut idea on how to make their idea happen. Perhaps you are the only one who knows how to organize it as a project and make it happen? Do it, either by youself or invite friends over to help.
♦There may be times when two or three projects are posted and the need to prioritize and choose between which projects should continue and which is to be placed on the back burner. Tip: should your project be put in the back burner, use the Marketing forum and open a "back-room" discussion to argue your point.
♦There may be times... (sentence needs to be continued- open Development thread and post topic or idea in Forum for discussion).

Our Aims in Accounting
Geitonia Mas aims at transparency and accountability.
First:
This is done for practical reasons: everyone should have a bearing on matters that count for the non-profit, their neighborhood and their causes. Also, so that the members of the Geitonia Mas Management board who contribute their time and efforts can discuss and plan feasible goals and targets in a variety of fields. Do we spend on marketing or do we hand out the profits to the neighborhoods?
In this section, the numbers talk. That is why we have provided an Income and Expense Acounts Manager(button below). The numbers define our limits and set our goals and targets.
Second:
Every invoice or donation is posted for the record. This provides an opportunity for the advertiser or donator an extra confirmation that their good intentions are formally acknowledged and accounted for.
Taxes and Greek Crisis Measures
The Greek crisis measures include taxing non-profits companies.
We are charged the flat tax of 500 € per year regardless of profits.
We also pay 26% taxes from the profit and 23% VAT from the sale of ads
One of the aspirations of Geitonia Mas is to have enough revenue to provide full time employment to a staff just to post invoices and donations all day! (oh.. yeah... and the expenses too).

Remarks, questions and discussion

Welcome to Human Resources
Do you have 5 to 15 minutes a day or week or a month to spare?
The "Neighborhood" program is designed for «on-line action- 24 hours a day."
This would be done in an open system with such attributes as transparency, enablement, empowerment, quick, easy and effectively.
Human resouce Department has two main priorities:
First: discuss the company's employment and staffing when accounts are provided and,
Second is to provide a platform for neighborhood coordinators, volunteers, mentors and Board of Directors to discuss and exchange views, opinions, experiances with problems and successes. Engagement tools provided are blog and forum buttons below.
The focus here is the goal of the "Our Neighborhood" to provide a platform and program facilities to everybody, especially to those who:
»have no time to go to the Parents Association meetings,
»have a cause for their neighborhood and have problems crowd-sourcing and crowd-funding the cause,
»to express their opinion and views in regards to his neighborhood or city,
»or even be to be informed on the issues that concern them.
Griddy issues and misunderstandings could be resolved on-line quicker and better. But more importantly, "Geitonia Mas" was designed to give everyone an added incentive to meet with one another for one reason or another in real time,
in a real environment,
at a neighborhood square,
the neighborhood corner store
or maybe around a kitchen table.
It is nice to meet people, once the griddy issues have been resolved on-line and more substantial matters in a friendly manner could be addressed.
♦How many good ideas have been lost because we did not have the time to attend meetings?
♦That we were not aware of the community efforts in our neighborhood?
♦That we did not even know such clubs, unions, societies, associations, charities or efforts even existed in our own neighborhood or city?
You cannot find, search or care for something, if you do not know that it exists.
Become a coordinator, mentor or volunteer for "Geitonia Mas" and get involved with your cause or purpose! See articles below.

Brief description of an active neighborhood
The roles of the coordinators, mentors and volunteers could only be understood by first describing an active neighborhood.
A neighborhood is "activated", once a neighborhood coodinator is assigned to that neighborhood. Schools, clubs, etc. are added to the listings and provided with "mini blogs, forums, expenses and project mangers,etc. Neighborhoods that are activated have access to "Geitonia Mas" crowd-funding.
