MFS62 Dec 10 2021 01:37 PM Re: Charitable CranePoolers 2021

Let's keep this going. My charity is again the Smilow Cancer Center at Yale New Haven Hospital. The link now allows you to chose where you want your donation to go. The donate button is at the top right hand corner of the site. https://www.givetoynhh.org/ways-to-give/support-our-funds/ Please pin this to the top of the forum page. Later

Benjamin Grimm Dec 10 2021 02:42 PM Re: Charitable CranePoolers 2021

If we do this again, I'm in. I'll repeat my post from last year: Benjamin Grimm wrote: Put me down for Tisch MS Research Center of New York Dedicated to finding the cause of and cure for multiple sclerosis I will double my donation if it's for an organization that gets four stars on Charity Navigator. Thanks to the twists and turns that my life has taken in the last couple of years, I find myself happily in love with a woman with MS, so this charity is particularly meaningful to me.

Would like to request that I be assigned a 501(c)(3) specifically as my employer will match my donation with ones to the Salvation Army and Team RWB.

MFS62 Dec 13 2021 10:36 AM Re: Charitable CranePoolers 2021

Do we have enough people to get this show on the road yet? When it starts, will we just choose someone else's charity this year or will they be allocated, as in some past years?. Later

I used the ever-reliable namedrawing.com to pair you with a recipient. Please scroll back and find the post of the person whose name you drew to find their charity. If they haven't posted one yet, harass them nicely. Sorry for the late start, it's been a hectic month! Thanks for doing this again, yall. [attachment=0]CPFdraw.png[/attachment]

Cool. I haven't specified yet, so I'll look for a 501(c)3 so FMan can get a company match.

I'm going to again go with the May Dugan Center, an anti-poverty organization in my neighborhood. Cleveland's Near West Side has gentrified plenty in the past few years but still has no shortage of poverty to oppose. During the height of the pandemic, I could see cars backed up for more than a quarter mile on Wednesday mornings when they opened their food bank. https://www.maydugancenter.org/ They are indeed a 501(c)(3): https://charitableregistration.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/charities/Research-Charities.aspx

Thank you for defending the human dignity of asylum seekers, immigrants, and refugees. At RAICES, we believe that all people have the right to seek a safe and secure future for their families. For 35 years, our attorneys and social service providers have modeled through their work what a humane immigration system could look like in the U.S. And we continue to fight in the courtroom, the halls of Congress, and alongside our community to make that model our country's reality. Your one-time contribution ensures that we can continue to center and advocate for the needs of our community members. Your compassion makes a difference. Thank you. In solidarity, Your family at RAICES Later

Your generosity is keeping girls learning, safe, and hopeful for the future. It will enable us to work faster and go further in breaking down the barriers to girls' education.
