In less than a minute, you can find out how a small donation can help the Somalian refugee crisis. Just watch the quick video below, or follow the links after.

This is a part of the Non-Profit Sundays series, here to make you aware of easy, low-cost ways to help people. If you can, I hope you’ll join with me in a small donation.

If you can’t, remember that you can use your own platform to spread awareness to others. Thank you for whatever you can do.

• Get Your Blue Key for $5 and Raise Awareness.
• The article that provides the statistic in the video.
• An alternate place to donate (the Red Cross).

Well now this is just a great idea – How come it’s taken this long for somebody to figure it out?  Kudos to Amanda Harris for coming up with a great way of fund raising for those special projects and organizations we hold dear. 

IBakeSale is a really easy, friendly site to use and when you shop with their participating merchants, cash back (percentages listed on the site) goes directly to the organization(s) you designate.  I found one my very favorites and signed up already.  Does this make you feel good, or what?  Shop online and donate to your favorite charity or organization at the same time! 

You can even add your own organization to the list, i.e. kid’s school/sports fund raising events, and spread the word around.  People love to shop – And when donating is made this easy, I think really good things can happen.  Try it out – It sure beats bringing home a plate full of cookies (although some (Morgan) might not agree).  Thanks all – Have a fab week!

Good morning everyone!   Unless you have been living in a bubble, you know that the latest season of American Idol (yes, I’ve been watching) is nearing it’s conclusion and this season included a project entitled “Idol Gives Back”, a fund-raising, two night event.  Viewers were urged to donate through the Charity Projects Entertainment Fund, CPEF, and proceeds will be distributed to a number of excellent organizations. 

If you did not participate in this event, please take the time to view this site and see how this phenominal amount of money (Over $60 million!) will be used.  Both US and African relief programs will benefit and an excellent description of each is included at the site.  You will find links to these well-deserving organizations, so if you did not participate earlier, you may still help them on-line.

This huge event makes us realize that working together, whether we donate time, money or resources,  we all do make a difference.   

Thanks much – Be well this week.

Just something a little different on Fridays – the Site of the Day will be projects – mostly not-for-profits, that I feel we, the Internet community should throw our support behind. Show these 2nd and 4th graders some support.

That Dr. Mani is a real sweetheart.- and I’ve decided to donate 20% of book sales until Monday night, as Saturdays are often a slow day for me.

Bookmark his site – we’ll be revisiting it in our next Free Traffic Method summary.

I have a special annoucnement. One of the projects I so happily support has begun its event. Go on over to http://www.ezinemarketingcenter.com/blog/ and support the blogathon.

C’mon go. It’s Saturday and you’re at your computer. We both know you have no life, just like me, and it’s so little kids can get help with their hearts. Tell Dr. Mani I said hi. He’s the man I talk about in the forums that got such great results in Yahoo after reading my book. Click on the instant yahoo button for details.

20% of all sales of my latest book today will go to this charity.

See you later. I’ll be back in the night.
