Many thanks to Guy Betsy for selflessly donating his time to create more good in the world! I made an extra donation to The Trevor Project (which operates several programs to reduce suicide, especially among LGBTQ youth).

I believe in one of OPs first posts about it they mention that it is not free to them but they would rather the fee go towards a charitable donation and the whole point is to do a nice thing and have the nice thing go out into the universe to create more nice things such as donations to animals, homeless etc.

Amazing
What an amazing and generous offer. I am taking my parents for a big round birthday in November to SYD and MEL. Will donate to the American Cancer Society as my dad (with the help of his medical team of course) beat Lung Cancer last year. Thank you so much for doing this!

In the spirit of paying it forward, I donate to Mickaboo, a parrot rescue and adoption group in the San Francisco Bay area. In addition to abandoned and lost birds, the group handles special needs animals. They require all adopters to go thru a training program to ensure that the parrots get appropriate care.
Thanks so much for your kind gestures.

We've just made a donation to the Humane Society of the United States (looked hard for an animal welfare organization here in Vietnam but the only one I could find just closed in February 
).
).

A wonderful concept! Since we had 2 ETAs I am sending my portion into Florida Wild Rescue an amazing org that helps injured wildlife around central Fl and for the second one we are sending money into local public radio for all they do in our community!

I don't need an ETA yet, but I hopefully will in the future. In the meantime, I am going to go ahead and make a donation to the Atlanta Humane Society.
