Making it Easy to Donate to Charity

With the Donations module readers that want to support the charity can click the Donate button and give a little directly to the charity.

Remember a dollar here, five dollars there. It all adds up.

More on the Donate Module from Megan Casey 

This is what Megan had to say when introducing the new Squidoo Donations Module:
    P.S. Squidoo lenses send donations to charity If you want them to!

    When you make a lens, you can earn a royalty. From the ads we run on the page, or if someone clicks through to buy something you recommended on Amazon or eBay, for example.

    You can donate your royalties to charity.

    And now, you can make it even easier for your readers to help you!

    Just add the "Donations" module to your lens (that's the module you're looking at right now).

    Then, if your readers want to support that charity, too, they can click the Donate button and give a little. A dollar, two, ten. No pressure, no strings. Incremental goes monumental, fast.

    Thanks! And have fun.
