Goal

This year I want to promote and support many of my favorite charities. Some of these will be personally important, some will be timely based on world events and some may be groups I discover over this year of giving. I hope by creating this blog, donating my daily $5.00 and bringing attention to the cause, I can change the world in a good way. Please consider following my lead by making a donation to any of the groups that resonate with you.

Douc Langur Foundation


Douc Langurs are among the most beautiful and endangered primates in the world.  They are only found in three countries in the world:  Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Like so many primates worldwide, poaching, trapping and illegal trade are threatening their survival in all three countries.  This situation exists for many reasons but most significant are a lack of effective law enforcement and the prevailing climate of corruption at all levels of government whose job it is to protect them.
The Douc Langur Foundation is a 501(c3) nonprofit conservation, research and education organization dedicate to protecting the Douc Langur monkey and their wild habitat to ensure that they will survive in their home ranges for future generations.

Treasure Coast Manatee Foundation



The Treasure Coast Manatee Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization was established in 1998 by a small group of community leaders. The Foundation’s mission is to support and enhance environmental awareness, education, conservation, and stewardship of endangered species and natural resources, fulfilling its mission through the Manatee Observation and Education Center. To further its commitment to environmental awareness and education, the Foundation has contributed funding for Manatee Center programs, has awarded scholarships to local graduating seniors interested in pursuing a degree in the field of environmental science, and has given classroom mini-grants to local teachers for classroom projects designed to enhance conservation efforts. Through volunteer initiatives, citizen involvement, community, business and governmental partnerships, both the Manatee Center and the Foundation are committed to continuing their missions.

Mega Fishes Project


The MegaFishes Project represents the first worldwide attempt to document and protect the planet’s freshwater giants. The unprecedented use of freshwaters has led to declining populations of many aquatic species, particularly “megafishes” which are disappearing at an alarming rate. It is now a race against the clock to protect and document the aquatic life in these water systems. If we continue to do nothing, vulnerable species will become scarce, the opportunity for study may soon be lost, and the fish and people that depend on the water will face increased adversity. Your support can make a critical difference.
