September brought with it another Charitocracy birthday! We've been online, spreading your dolla dolla bill to worthy causes, for 3 years now!! Whether you've been with us the whole time, or just joined us recently, THANK YOU. It's your birthday. And we have some happy news to share.

Or better put, The Happy News has us to share! Thanks to donor Ealish Wilson, Jessica and I have been nominated as Everyday Heroes! Aww, shucks. ☺️

Big thanks also to Emily Coxhead for publishing Ealish's kind words in her extraordinary newspaper, and for making Charitocracy's birthday extra happy this year. ❤️

I have some big news.

Huge!

Are you sure you're ready for this? Maybe you should sit down.

Charitocracy (OMG OMG OMG) has joined the millions of other web sites on the Internet... to offer site-wide search functionality!

Simply type in one or more keywords, which are just fancy names for things you want to search for, and Charitocracy will return all matching nominee voting pages, blog posts, comments, etc. All in a fraction of a second*!

So visit any page, click that little magnifying glass in the top-right corner of the menu, or hiding at the end of the menu if you're on a phone, and search your heart out! American Heart Association will be returned, among others.

* AOL customers may be looking at a fraction of a minute here.

Including the check we wrote this month for September's winner, Youth Pride Inc., we've awarded over $30,000 in grants to our monthly winners at Charitocracy. And we have over $10,000 more raised already for the next 12 monthly winners.

While we still need to crack the code on how to grow this thing into the future, it's nice to look back at how far we've come. I've included an October 31 snapshot of our Winners page. You can see it for yourself here.
