Charitocracy's Final Season

In case you've missed my recent blog or social media posts, this is the first of Charitocracy's last 12 grants. While we've stopped taking donations, new sign-ups, and cancelled all recurring donations as of January 31, we still have an exciting 2023 ahead of us. And that's because we'll be spending down our reserves. Each monthly pot will be bigger than the previous! So please keep on voting so we get our remaining funds into good hands. And thanks for everyone who's reached out over email, blog comments, and IRL. It means a lot. Thanks for checking in on me, and commiserating on the end of an era. ❤️

January 2023 winner Mustang Outreach Program

Last Wednesday we named Charitocracy OBX's 28th monthly winner! Congratulations to Mustang Outreach Program, self-nominated as part of our mid-October live event. They supplement the deficit in today's schools' cultural arts programs by offering music lessons to community kids. You can find their website here.

Now check out some participants of Mustang Outreach Program rocking Sublime's "Santeria" at a festival a couple years ago. Then take a moment to feel good about your part in our collective $600 grant to help with their ongoing work!

What a long strange trip it's been

I've taken this holiday season to reflect on Charitocracy's place in my life. As I crank the wheel again, and another winner is selected, another blog post written, another grant check mailed, it's hard to grasp that we've done this over 100 times now, across Charitocracy USA and Charitocracy OBX. This is a perfect moment to extend my gratitude to each and every one of you who's nominated a cause, cast a vote, and/or generously contributed to our grants. I see you. How about we go another year, shall we?
