Excellent humanist giving results in the third quarter
By Administrator
This past quarter, your generous donations went to improving nutrition, protecting animals in the face of cruelty, bringing humanist education to Uganda, fighting for equitable treatment in our justice system, and building communities safer for diversity. You collectively raised $47,150 dollars for Q3 2012, surpassing last quarter’s donations by more than $4,000.
Equal Justice Initiative, our Human Rights beneficiary, received the most donations, with Poverty & Health and Education taking a close second and third, respectively. We continued to support Leo Igwe’s study through individual donations and an additional small grant, and we supported the brave firefighters protecting Coloradans amid tremendous wildfire destruction and service budget cuts last summer.
