I'd like to thank everyone for using our credit card links for 2015. Each quarter we supported a new charity, that was proposed and voted on by the members here. In total we collected:
Q1 Project C.U.R.E $850.75
Q2 First Book $668.25
Q3 Miriam's Kitchen $1255.25
Q4 Doctors without Borders $467 (amount being verified now)
Total donated: $3241.25
Additionally, we have $80 in the pipeline for the next charity. If you are planning to apply for some credit cards (and are responsible enough to use them wisely) please consider the link here, https://saverocity.com/creditcards and 100% of that affiliate income will be sent to the next charity.. and here's where I want to propose the change.
In 2016 we will support just one charity for the entire year.
After donating to these charities for Saverocity I noticed that you get on their mailing/PR list and they spam the heck out me going forward. I can handle that, but we need to realize it costs the charity time and money to solicit more money from a person, and as such I don't want to create 4 more charity relationships in 2016. Instead, I would like to sponsor just one charity for the year. Additionally, I like the ability to partner with one and really help make a difference to them.
Who to pick?
I'd like to propose that we have a similar nomination and voting process to the past, but also include the 4 previous winners. I think that they won for a reason, and are great causes. As such, there is a poll above, please vote for who we will support for 2016.
If you wish to nominate another charity other than listed, select 'Other' and leave a comment to the name of your charity.
Voting ends in a week (I'll be traveling, but the poll will auto close at that time). Voting is anonymous, and you may change your vote.
