The Giving Season

When 3D Political was created, we made a commitment that a portion of our profits each year would be given back to charitable organizations.  Well last week I was reminded of that commitment so we sat down yesterday and started sending out our donations to some organizations we like and who do amazing work.

But before we did that, I asked for some suggestions from those I am connected with on Facebook and Twitter.  I received a number of replies, comments and even some e-mails telling me where others were making a difference this holiday season.  By the way, we count volunteering as a contribution.

So instead of just telling you about the organizations we decided to donate to, we're going to include  suggestions we received as well.  These are all great places to put your money and your time if you are able:

Oxfam America Unwrapped
Humane Society
Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation
Goodwill
Kids In Need of Desks
Your local foodbank/Feeding America
Marine Toys for Tots

Certainly there are plenty of other great organizations out there. A really good way to find one that fits with your goals is to join Jumo. There you can select which issues are important to you and be connected with organizations that meet your preferences (Internationally, Nationally and Locally).

So if you are in the position to give a charitable donation or volunteer during this, the giving season, I encourage you to do it today.  The number of lives you change will be immeasurable.

Thanks - Daren
