With blogs we have many opportunities to show support for either emergency situations or favorite charities. Whether it’s donating part of our blog income or adding links, the possibilities are endless.

Hi Chris,

Your school is a great example of a charity you are passionate about. Having links to it on your blog will definitely draw some attention.

Hi Shilpan,

Yes, blogs can bring our world closer to unity. Isn’t that awesome how that works?

Hi Linda,

That was a great thing you did to draw attention to Ryan’s cause. I’m sure he was very appreciative.

And you’re right, email campaigns are another great way to help raise money for a worthy cause.

Hi Ann,

Oh yes, you have that new blog. Raising awareness is a great way to bring attention to a good cause.

Not to toot my own horn, but I did help Ryan from Inside Assisted Living a few weeks ago when he asked for people to complete his family caregiving survey — by writing a post on my blog about it. btw, we talked on the phone and he said he got 7 or 8 responses from readers of TLeC as a result, so I’m happy about that! But that’s small potatoes.

I haven’t promoted a charity on my blog outright, but have asked friends & family via personal emails for donations to causes I support. It always amazes me what an outpouring I’ve gotten after just sending one email! I hadn’t thought to translate that to my blog, but will consider that option in the future. (Not sure my personal causes would be appropriate on TLeC.)

I’ve heard of Kiva.org before and think it’s a fabulous charity. I will check out Soldiers’ Angels as well. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
