We have good news about June winner Climate, Kayak, and Conversation, right after this quick update...

Benj the karma farmer?

For the past 3 weeks I've been working the farmers market at Dowdy Park on Thursday mornings. Chris Carroll at Sweater Box Confections graciously invited me to join her high-traffic cookies & pies booth, where she tells customers about the 2% of "Giving Freezer" purchases she donates to local causes through Charitocracy OBX.

I've averaged one new donor from the market each week, which may seem like poor results, but I consider it a win. (Most Thursdays I otherwise get zero!) We stand now at 95 OBX donors! Maybe you can help push us over the 100 donors milestone by inviting that special someone?! Or come by the farmers market and be my shill like Jessica did today. We'll get into a vigorous conversation, and prospective donors will flock to the commotion!

June 2021 winner Climate, Kayak, and Conversation

Yesterday we named Charitocracy OBX's 9th monthly winner! Congratulations to Climate, Kayak, and Conversation, nominated by donor wfreund. They tell stories of those impacted by climate change through sail-kayaking the Intracoastal Waterway. You can find their website here.

Now you have a week to sweeten the pot with a special one-time donation of any amount, which we'll add straight to the check we write to Climate, Kayak, and Conversation. We already have one generous $20 boost, thanks!

So finally check out this playlist of CKC videos breaking down the project. Will is great at creating interesting content about his project, so whether you're interested in the climate, the kayaking, or the conversations, he's got plenty to watch! Then take a moment to feel good about your part in our collective $520+ grant to help with his ongoing work!

Have a great July and be sure to log into Charitocracy OBX to update your votes or nominate a new cause!
