Especially this one about giving back when you’re unemployed. You post such great tips to help people get more involved and giving back-- I know our readers would love to see these as well, as it falls in line with exactly what we’re trying to accomplish! With that said, I'm involved with a non-profit organization called Project 100. Our mission is to give back to the community, therefore inspiring others to give. Over the course of three months, Project 100 is giving 100 dollars to 100 people over 100 days, in an effort to encourage giving back to the community and creating a spark for change. Project 100 believes that giving changes everything, and they only ask that recipients think of how they too can help out in their community. I invite you to check out our site at www.whatisproject100.com and see if this is something worth blogging about to your readers! After all, we are doing good! <br /><br />Keep up the good work! <br /><br />Adriane<br />www.whatisproject100.com/blogAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098369122863733912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15585808.post-92206665387920892762009-04-20T16:54:00.000-07:002009-04-20T16:54:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing your story, Dan!Thanks for sharing your story, Dan!Britt Bravohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134123127272499735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15585808.post-47936302227842002122009-04-17T16:11:00.000-07:002009-04-17T16:11:00.000-07:00Hello!

There's nonprofit I am helping out that is holding a house raffle at desertarc.org - we did a survey of ticket buyers and there were more than a few who aren't currently working. Some people get it!<br /><br />I found this in a past experience also - when I did an Aids ride in Alaska, the bigger donations came from people who were young in the workforce and making much less money.Dan Sullivanhttp://www.palmspringsdreamhomeraffle.com/early_drawing.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15585808.post-47931643780684909022009-03-11T10:09:00.000-07:002009-03-11T10:09:00.000-07:00Heather and Neha, I'm glad you liked the post.I've...Heather and Neha, I'm glad you liked the post.<BR/><BR/>I've written about it before, but thought I'd mention the 29-Day Giving Challenge.

Some people may lean towards contracting and even becoming more selfish. It won't serve anyone. Thanks for posting this.

Because it makes me FEEL good! (and it doesn't cost me a cent using the 'virtual garage sale' concept) <BR/><BR/>Got somethin' to give? Shaping Youth could use a hand. I'm 'unemployed' in so far as I haven't made a penny for salary yet!

It inspired me to visit CharityFocus' blog, which I haven't done in a while and which always has wonderful "gift econony" (rather than $ economy) ideas. This post struck me as particularly beautiful and inspirational:<BR/><BR/>http://www.charityfocus.org/blog/view.php?id=2021<BR/><BR/>Your post also inspired me to catch up on writing a LinkedIn recommendation for YOU -- felt very good to "give" attention to all the great work you've been doing for Social Actions. :)Christine Eggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14581477816812834896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15585808.post-15793297769735888462009-03-07T13:53:00.000-08:002009-03-07T13:53:00.000-08:00Oh yeah, the joys of giving.

Please, people, it is so annoying to have to listen to other people preach about the joys of giving when people like me have always given. Always.
