About Me

Dollar Philanthropy is an effort to harness the power of the blogosphere to create a network individuals who will donate a single dollar each week to a reputable nonprofit organization.

A dollar doesn't seem like much and that is precisely the point. However, when combined, each of our individual dollars can make a huge difference to a local nonprofit that is seeking to serve a need and improve the community around them.

I am challenging readers to commit to giving $52 a year ($1 per week) for this project. If you want to give more that $1, please feel free. With this in mind, please set us up on your favorite RSS aggregator so you don't miss a post.

ABOUT ME
My name is Carol Kirshner. My day job iis a cacophony of freelance gigs in the healthcare and non-profit fields. However, I have always tried to do my part to make my corner of the world a little nicer through volunteering or donating to a good cause.

I also sit on the Board of Directors of a local no-kill animal shelter. This experience has taught me that big things are possible by joining together and organizing small individual efforts.

Disclosure: Dollar Philanthropy is a personal endeavor to draw attention to good causes and nonprofits that are making a difference. I do not receive any money for this. I reserve the right to publish content ads on the site to help offset the costs associated with this blog. After the costs have been covered, any excess from the ad revenue will be donated to the nonprofit of my choice.

In an effort to keep Dollar Philanthropy as a credible and reliable resource for finding a worthy nonprofit to which to donate, I will not allow organizations to pay or otherwise compensate me for being highlighted on this blog. I exercise full editorial control over post content, comments and trackbacks.

If you are interested in sponsoring this blog for a short period of time (still allowing me full editorial control), please contact me ---carol [at] drivingintraffic dot com.
