airolf posted-"Have you heard of the Chase
Community Giving campaign? Chase is giving away $5 million to the most popular charities. They are giving one charity $1 million grants and 5 charities will receive $100,000 each.
All you have to do is become a fan of their
Facebook fanpage and vote for your favorite charity to win. You can only vote once per charity per round (there are two rounds). You get 20 votes to distribute at your own discretion.
I voted for
Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue, which is my all-time favorite charity as that is from where I adopted Boscoe (see icon to the post and my LJ header for pictures). CCDR is a wonderful 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that saves hundreds of dachshund and dachshund mixes every year.
If you have a Facebook account, please, please, PLEASE vote in Chasegiving! It doesn't cost you a thing, but can give the charity of your choice much needed funds at the most trying of economic times.
Voting for round 1 ends on December 11 - vote soon!
If you are not sure which charities deserve your vote, please consider voting for the two I listed above.
