Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distresses of every one, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse. - George Washington #giveeveryday
Living Philanthropic: Give Anything, But Up!
As Year 2 of Living Philanthropic winds down over the next 11 days, I wanted to give a little update. In year 1, we banded together to raise $20K for 365+ charities. In year 2, we teamed up to raise another $32K for charity. Our total combined impact for the past 2 years of Living Philanthropic is $52,496! That’s an amazing number, but I want to say we are not done quite yet.
My personal motto is: Give Anything, but up.
Which means for continued success in anything you do, you have to keep giving anything you can, just don’t give up.
As I work to hash out the details of Year 3, we are going to continue the monthly featured charities, but I am working hard to get another program off the ground for year 3 of Living Philanthropic. More details to come soon.
I wanted to personally say thank you for all the support and drive you have shown over the past 2 years, your messages and generosity towards the greater good are a constant inspiration and our success is a collective one.
I would love to close out these 11 days in style, here are a couple ways you can help!
1. Spread the word. Share this blog, get your friends to like the Facebook page or follow on Twitter. If we can hit 5,000 likes and follows, it would help us spread the word in Year 3.
2. Pledge $11 (a dollar per each day left in March as of this post) to Bottom Line, the featured charity for March on Crowdrise. The first $1,000 in donations will be matched! http://crowdrise.com/lp-mar12
3. Submit a Guest Blog Post. After you make a donation, consider writing a guest blog post. http://bit.ly/lp-blogger

”The ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. ~Anne Frank
Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
Sometimes the best give is to forgive and sometimes it’s also the hardest.
