Squidoo and Charity
Squidoo offers a great opportunity for you to promote, support and donate to a favorite charity.
You can make lenses with info about specific charities with donations modules that allow viewers to donate directly to the organization (you could use the donations module in any lens, however).
You can donate any percentage of your royalties from lenses (see the section called "lens royalties" in the right sidebar of your lens workshop) to a charity that is important to you or to the Squidoo Charity Fund.
This lens is for showcasing RocketMoms lenses for the Charity project as well as offering info on how to maximize donations for your charities of choice.

How Squidoo Works with Charity
Posted by Megan Casey for SquidBlog
Squidoo has changed the way people donate to charity online. Squidoo gives everyone a voice, and the opportunity to make (free) donations big and small, month in and month out, to organizations that matter. Always have, always will. That's one of our founding principles, one of the cornerstones of the company and the community.
For members and onlookers new and seasoned alike, here's a quick cheatsheet about how it all works.
- Squidoo is a publishing platform that lets real people make real pages about topics, ideas, people, and products that matter to them.
- The best pages ("lenses") have unique, useful, updated content on them, full of pictures and videos and links and articles and opinions and recommendations and conversations. The best lenses are extremely focused and interactive pages on a particular topic or slice of life and the web.
- There are Google and display ads on each page, and the opportunity for you to sell products via Amazon, eBay, CafePress and other partner sites. That's how each page earns money.
- We as a company (that us, the SquidooTeam) donate 5% of our revenue straight to charity.
- We also give 50% of our revenue to our community, to the people who make our pages, distributed according to an algorithm that pays the highest quality lenses, the most.
- Then our lensmasters decide what they want to do with the royalties they've earned.
- They have the choice to keep the cash, or donate their royalties to any of our 100 (and growing) supported nonprofits.
- As a group, the Squidoo community donates about $10,000 a month to a bunch of different charities, from the Acumen Fund to A Day of Hope to JDRF.
- It's easy and free for any certified 501c3 organization to apply to become a Squidoo supported nonprofit. Supported nonprofits get the privilege of our community's attention and choice, and it's up to every individual lensmaster if and where she wants to donate her royalties every month.
- It's also easy and free (and amazing powerful and woefully overlooked) for organizations to invite their volunteers, donors and friends to make pages, about anything, that automatically donate monthly royalties to their cause. The ASPCA once had thousands of their supporters make lenses about their pets, and those lenses are still donating royalties, every single month, for free.
- Our Community Organizer, Kimberly, is in charge of our charity signup process. She's kind and quick and likes going above and beyond for the all-too-rare nonprofit groups that are eager to do more than the status quo.
- Here is the official application page you should send to your favorite nonprofit organization if you want them to start exploring the benefits of being a Squidoo-supported org.
- And yes, it's all free.

Rocket Mom! 7 Strategies To Blast You Into Brilliance
Amazon Price: $2.92 (as of 06/03/2012)![]()
Combining the analytical skills of a businesswoman with the wit and comforting sensibilities of a mom with nearly twenty years on the front line, Rocket Mom is the quintessential blueprint for motherhood, where "brainy" meets "zany."
Discover how to:
- Identify and nurture your child's own genius--and trust her, she'll prove that it's there--by studying the traits of giants such as Einstein, daVinci, and Mozart
- Develop your child's brain by playing a musical instrument--even if you don't know the difference between an arpeggio and a spaghettio
- Transform your home with beauty so that it serves as your children's "third teacher"--and learn why this is so vital to boosting your creativity quotient
- Contribute to an ethical renaissance in your own little corner of the earth--as well as all over the globe
- Manage the schedules of simultaneous stages of childhood--while watching dust accumulate and toys reproduce--and get a grip on your unique occupational hazards
- Maintain and health and fitness regimen of your own--while maintaining kids who are too young to take care of themselves

- This is a great lens on squidoo charity lenses and packed with everything we will ever want to know about charity work here on squidoo. I have set ALL of my 18 lenses to donate 100% of anything they might earn to "HOPE FOR HAITI" as Haiti is the most in need just now and as a citizen of this world i feel it is my duty to help, as it is the duty of the rest of the world too..after all if the shoe was on the other foot and we ourselves were in urgent need of food, water and medical carein aid to stay alive, who would we expect to do help us, if not the rest of the world i would be rest assured that at least squidoo and the Rocketmoms would be doing everything in their power to get me the help i needed, so to all rocketmoms and squids that do charity related lenses here ..keep up the good work you are doing. Love & Light alfiesgirl Tina x

- I think it is such a wonderful thing that we can write about our passions and then also make a significant donation to the charity or charities of our choice! With Squidoo it is easy to be socially responsible and do a good thing.
