Jessica and I are excited to announce our three new Charitocracy board members for 2017!
We thank Dave, Melia, and Mike for their priceless feedback even before joining the board, and look forward to their continued guidance in the year ahead. Boardom has never been so fun. Well, unless you count when the boardroom was our bedroom. But I guess Charitocracy is becoming all respectable now!
Firstly, for newcomers: here's how it works. Donors pool their monthly contributions, as little as $1. The cause with the most votes each month wins the pot. No matter how much or how little you contribute, each donor at Charitocracy gets one vote. This is where charity meets democracy. So please share this post (see social sharing icons at top of post) and ask your friends to join us and vote! That's how we spread the word and, as a result, grow the monthly pot. The bigger the pot, the bigger our positive impact on the world!
Next in our series of posts about Charitocracy nominees, we have nominee Southern Hope Animal Rescue & Education nominated by donor Lita. They are an animal rescue that rehabs and rehomes unwanted and slaughter-bound equines while promoting horsemanship education. You can find their website here.
It's more than just an all species animal rescue. SHARE is a place where we learn, grow and have fun!
We not only offer many volunteer opportunities but we also have a riding lesson program, pony ride parties and professional horse boarding services to help fund our rescue costs.
We primarily assist local shelters with the placement of farm animals, dogs, cats and rabbits but are also known to accept owner surrendered animals of all kinds.
So please visit SHARE's page on Charitocracy to vote for, like, or discuss this cause!
We received our first check from the Amazon Smile program. This is legit!
By using smile.amazon.com as the entry point to doing your shopping on Amazon, you've raised nearly $60 bonus for Charitocracy, which I've just distributed as $5 into each of the next 12 monthly pots. So if you weren't sure if it's worth remembering to do this every time, I guess you have your answer! Go ahead and continue to buy one of everything knowing it's for a good cause. 12 good causes!
