| Donors,
do your jobs and chores fill up your days so much that you don't get
a moment to participate in philanthropy, no matter how great it feels?
Tight
budget? No amount is too small, every cent
adds up to make for serious change.
For all nonprofits immersed in daily "feel good" missions, sustainability comes
from remembering that the bills still have to get paid. Here everybody wins and we call it our Good Karma Exchange. All donors recieve a thank you letter and donation verification
tax-deductible receipt.
Grantmakers we invite you to visit our Major
Grants and Foundations Page or call us at
415 235 2403.

goods via Craigslist,

Access online wishilist matching system. Our program
provides convenient ways for charities to furnish offices, stock shelves
and supply the public while allowing donors to post household or business
surplus items & materails. Nonprofits near you can often accept
drop-offs or provide pick-ups.

$10 minimum for credit cards and $200 minimum for checks apply for
NetworkForGood. Also, they take a percentage of the donation for processing

and us with your name, address, amount and indicate which

"General Fund" to help all of them. Please note, if you chose the
"Anonymous" option, we wont be able to know where to send

For Good.
