How do I add a charity to your list?
Charities that are willing to accept PayPal donations can sign up by visiting our Charity Sign-Up lens.
Once they are approved and added, lensmasters can set their payment settings to go to these charities. At any time, charities are welcome to use Squidoo to promote themselves and their awesome causes.

Can I choose which charity I send my donations to?
Absolutely! In the workshop (edit screen) of each lens, click edit in the Payment Options section in the right column. Here you can choose a charity from the drop-down menu, and even split your donations to go to multiple locations.
Or, to change all your lenses at once, go to the My Profile tab of your dashboard and scroll down to the Payment Options section.

What about donation receipts for my taxes?
Since Squidoo is sending donations to charities on your behalf, and you're not actually earning the money as income first, you won't get a receipt for your taxes. In the end, it comes out equal.
If you'd prefer to deduct the donation, or if your charity of choice isn't on our list, you can collect your earnings as cash and donate them on your own. Check with your accountant and that charity to see how earnings and donations will affect you.
