I have decided that all of my "CommonMime Causes" deserved their own site. I have created a new blog CommonMime Causes , which you will find links to on all of my sites. This site will be updated periodically with articles pertaining to charitable organizations I support.
Typepad has apparently been experiencing difficulty with Tip Jars on my site (and perhaps others?) so i was advised by them to disable my "Good Deeds Jars" for now while they look into the matter and use the PayPal donation system instead, which i have done. Typepad uses PayPal for their Tip Jars as well, but going directly through PayPal offers contributors more confidence in the security of their charitable contribution.
Please research the charities I support on CharityNavigator.org. (I have included links to reviews of each in the sidebar of all of my blog sites) This is a wonderful nonprofit site that gives detailed information on how your donations are being utilized. All of the charities I support are organizations I feel strongly about, and are highly rated by CharityNavigator. I only support charitable organizations that utilize their money in the best way possible.
So please, make a donation today. During this time of year when the demands to purchase are so high, it never hurts to throw in a good deed here and there.
You can donate directly to my DonorsChoose challenge in support of New Orleans area schools See my post from December 2 for details through the links and thermometer widgets found on all of my blogs, or you can make a donation to CommonMime Causes through PayPal by clicking on the PayPal button found in the sidebar. Through PayPal you have the choice of making a general contribution (all revenue received is distributed evenly among each of the causes I support) or you can specify which cause(s) you would like to have receive your donation. One hundred percent of all donations I receive goes directly to charity.
When you make your contribution, please include your contact information so that I can thank you personally (this is optional, but it is important to me to personally thank those who support my causes).
Happy Holidays.
Jane
