Submitted by FBB on Mon, 10/17/2011 - 06:04

In the third quarter of 2011, the compassionate humanist members of Foundation Beyond Belief donated a total of $31,240 to our ten charitable beneficiaries.

The final totals for Q3:

Human Rights PFLAG	$3,455

The Foundation also took advantage of a unique opportunity through Roots & Wings International, our Q1 Education beneficiary. By adding $410 to our earlier contribution of $3,390, we have funded a full four-year college scholarship for a Guatemalan high school scholar currently in the RWI program. These funds were drawn from contributions in the "Greatest Need" category for Q3.

We look forward to staying in touch with RWI and our Foundation Beyond Belief Scholar!

Watch this blog and the Humanity at Work newsletter throughout the fourth quarter for reports from these organizations about how our donations will be put to use. (Non-members may subscribe to our weekly newsletter at the top of this page.)

This is so encouraging, and I love that the Crisis Response Program has made a good start! I also love that Education is at the top of the chart! I wholeheartedly believe that many of the situations the Foundation seeks to remedy arise from ignorance and that effective education can indirectly help to alleviate these problems.

charity situation

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 10/19/2011 - 10:19.

Every year for about a decade, I have donated to the ACS through my company's yearly charity campaign. Due to the whole recent ACS situation.. I will not donate to ACS any longer. Instead, this year, I am making a donation to FBB instead. Quite unfortunate that ACS decided to follow a path of bigotry. I will gladly donate to other cancer charities going forward. Ones that aren't bigots.

If you can think of any that might be more supporting of our worldview, you should nominate them, and we can check them out! I agree that it would be great to support a cancer charity, and if you have one in mind, that would be awesome! Just go to http://foundationbeyondbelief.org/nominate
