Since the birth of Fresh Nerd, I have been trying to come up with a way that I can contribute to art & music programs for kids since it seems to be a dying breed for our future generation. I came across a website by some random dude (that’s really his name) and he has started a contribution program on his site that caught my eye. The way it works is fairly simple…leave a comment on the site and I make a donation per comment. At the end of the month, I total up all comments on the site and make a donation. Since comments are by far the most generous contribution you as the reader can give to this blog, I will return the favor by giving 10 cents for each comment, other than my own, up to $20 a month (I’m not rich, sorry) to a specific non-profit organization helping make our future kids have an outlet for music and art.
What’s In It For You?
Well, good karma is in it for you. Hopefully leaving a comment to help make conversation valuable and the idea of being able to contribute to charity is enough to motivate you to share your thoughts on posts that you have a say about already anyways.
Who Am I Giving To?
I will be giving to a non-profit called A.R.T.S. (A Reason To Survive). Their mission is as follows:
ARTS is dedicated to healing, inspiring and empowering children facing life challenges by providing innovative arts-based programs, education and opportunities.
What’s the Catch?
No catch. I just ask the following…Please don’t comment just to comment or leave senseless comments. An example of a senseless comment would be, Hell yea!! or This sucks! Yes, there will be times when those comments are appropriate but let’s get good conversations started here folks. That’s pretty much it. I will give weekly updates as to progress and current total. Let the comments commence (you like the aliteration there don’t ya?)
