The Media Giraffe Project is collaborating informally with many other groups, including:

The Giraffe Heros Project (www.giraffe.org) is a private, non-profit group based in Washington State which since 1982 has been moving people to "stick their necks out for the common good" in multiple fields.

OurMe dia.org, since 2004, a non-profit, global community and learning center for sharing, registering and archiving multimedia works of personal media. Based in San Francisco.

Free Press is a two-year-old website for a Northampton, Mass.-based not-for-profit which has quickly established itself as the "go to" site for news, links and advocacy on media issues, especially regulatory reform. http://www.mediareform.net/.

ACME The Action Coalition for Media Education, in Albuquerque, N.M., is a national not-for-profit using curricula and other resources to teach intelligent analysis, evaluation and consumption of media by youth and adults. This work is often described as "media literacy education." Members include educators, students, journalists, health professionals and parents. http://www.acmecoalition.org/.

The Center for Communications and Community, (C3) at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA), is a journalism, research, and training institution working at the intersection of communications, race, and community transformation. The center seeks to fill the void that exists between grassroots practitioners, the non-profit sector, media research scholars, working journalists, and policymakers interested in community development. http://uclaccc.ucla.edu
