Mumford & Sons Fans: Get Involved!
Have you heard about our Spring Campaign, “Invest Your Love?” Click through to learn how you can join together with The Wayside Inn Group and support The Voice Project in the name of Mumford & Sons.
We’ve got a goal to raise $1,000 for The Voice Project, but if every person who follows Mumford & Sons Blog on tumblr alone were to donate just $1, we could raise well over $12,000! Imagine the impact you could make! Can you help us blow our goal out of the water?
Click through now to find out how you can “Invest Your Love” in this incredibly worthwhile and important cause.

Invest Your Love: 2013 Spring Campaign
We’ve selected The Voice Project for the Spring Campaign.
This is a charity that has a worldwide focus and impact which we felt was important since Mumford & Sons fans are from everywhere, and yet, does not have such a great budget that what we do will be but a drop in the bucket. It also has ties to the goals of Invisible Children, the first charity we have supported, and supports the people impacted by conflict in LRA-impacted areas in Africa along with several other critical human rights issues of the day.
Take a look at the video, look through some of the amazing cover songs from Mumford & Sons tourmates, Dawes and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros as well as other great artists, learn about the songs of forgiveness, as well as the numerous other worldwide activities they do to use the power of music to bring peaceful resolution to conflicts around the world.
Decide if you’d like to send something their way to help them continue their work and donate on our Crowdrise Page.
Our vision: Mumford & Sons have made our lives better. They’ve impacted who we are. They give us respite and calm and joy and energy and when the day feels like it’s taken us by the ankles and is shaking us for loose change, they seem to set us right. The Wayside Inn is a chance to say thank you and convert some of the powerful emotion and love this band sparks in many of us into something tangible. Let the good they bring into the world multiply through us, their fans. Let it make life better for someone else.
Please feel to ask questions, advise us, and alternatively interact at the crowdrise site, on Facebook, here, or twitter: @waysideinngrp.
This is an incredibly worthwhile cause that all Mumford & Sons fans should consider supporting. Check out The Wayside Inn Group, get involved, and donate to The Voice Project if you can!

Hello I would like to know if the place to donate to the invisible children is the same place from december 2011 when we gave a donation. I know to go to thewaysideinn but it seems to be stagnant. Is this correct or do I go to KONY 2012
Hello! It is the same place, which you can find here. The person in charge has also recently updated the donation information to reflect the giveaway currently underway, in which donors can win a copy of the Sigh No More Deluxe Edition signed by Marcus Mumford himself (which I personally asked him for and watched him sign, so it’s legit!).
To donate: www.crowdrise.com/thewaysideinn (Invisible Children) or www.crowdrise.com/thewaysideinnai (Amnesty International) or donating directly through those charities’ websites and forwarding the receipt to thewaysideinngroup@gmail.com. You can either contact me or The Wayside Inn blog if you have any other questions!
Thank you for being interested in donating to these charities that Mumford & Sons themselves support.

December Giveaway! Time to Stomp!
Just like it’s no doubt happening in your life, December is our last, manic push to the finish line. Our last big hurrah before 2012. Things are crazy. Mumford & Sons is getting nominated for Grammys and we still want to raise $1000.00 for Invisible Children. We’re currently at $420.00. So that means we need more help, more outreach, and definitely more contests and we, hope, more fun.
So on top of another hoodie contest for a random donor and another reblogging, signal boosting, go tell it on the mountain frenzy contest for a SNM: Deluxe, we’re holding an impromptu silent auction. The highest donor in December wins originals of these really beautiful drawings of the band at the bottom of this post. Let us know if you think they should be separated for four winners and we’ll consider it. The pictures, not the band. Perish the thought.
Thanks to artfortheroad for such a generous and lovely gift for our donors. You are so talented. Check out her tumblr for more of her amazing art of the band. And of course: put in your donation and keep checking the donation list to make sure you win. www.crowdrise.com/thewaysideinn
We’re also VERY open to input, ideas for 2012 fundraising drives, further donations for prizes. Ask box me or send an email to thewaysideinngroup@gmail.com.
Get involved, you guys! Support Invisible Children in the name of Mumford & Sons!
Reblog or like this post to be entered to win the Sigh No More Deluxe Edition, and click through to the December Giveaway page on my blog for details about how you can donate and be entered to win the hoodie and the beautiful artwork. Thank you in advance for supporting Invisible Children.

I want to donate to Invisible Children and be entered to win the M&S hoodie, but I don't have a tumblr. Is there a way for the non-tumblr people to be included in the drawing after we donate?
YES!
First of all, thank you so, so much for supporting Invisible Children. I am personally grateful that you are willing to donate to this incredible organization.
As far as being entered for the hoodie is concerned, ANYONE can be entered to win, provided that you make a donation via one of the two ways listed here. Just remember that if you choose to donate directly through the IC website that you’ll have to forward your receipt to thewaysideinngroup@gmail.com so that we can add you to the list. If you donate through the Crowdrise donation page, you will be automatically entered to win the hoodie.
Again, thank you so very much for supporting Invisible Children. You can help us spread the word, too, by tweeting the information or sharing it on Facebook via the links on the right side of the page! Let’s get as many people involved and donating as possible!

INVISIBLE CHILDREN. It’s easy to become self-absorbed. Here’s my attempt today to think of someone other than myself. If you are a Mumford & Sons fan, support the Wayside Inn. Or visit the Invisible Children website. Watch the tragic but uplifting story of Invisible Children volunteer Nate Henn, which Ben said “broke” him, and lead to Mumford & Sons’ involvement with Invisible Children and their performance.
I’m proud to be a Mumford & Sons fan.
Please consider supporting Invisible Children through The Wayside Inn. Just to put things in perspective, The Wayside Inn has a goal of raising $1,000 for Invisible Children in the name of Mumford and Sons by the end of 2011. If each one of the followers of this blog, mumfordandsonsblog, donated only ONE DOLLAR (that’s less than one Euro), we could blow that goal out of the water. Imagine how much support we Mumford and Sons fans could raise!
Check it out and please consider giving.
