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

Sometimes, it's worth saying and repeating things out loud, even if you think everyone already knows them.

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.

Donations Module

Squidoo has always made it easy to support charity. Now we've made it a little easier! Stick a DONATE module on your lens, pick the charity you like, and your readers can send donations directly to that org. A dollar here, a dollar there. It all adds up.

Here is a great lens with directions on:

How to Use the Donations Module
Squidoo's Donations module now makes it even easier for lens readers 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.

The Society was formed to alleviate the injustices animals faced then, and we continue to battle cruelty today. Whether it's saving a pet who has been accidentally poisoned, fighting to pass humane laws, rescuing animals from abuse or sharing resources wi

We at Squidoo passionately believe in creating new ways to support good causes online. By making a donation to ASPCA from this page, you are sending money directly to that organization, in whatever amount you want. We don't touch it. We don't even see it. The author of this page doesn't either. And if you made it this far, thanks for caring.

7 Strategies To Blast You Into Brilliance

Rocket Mom! 7 Strategies To Blast You Into Brilliance

by: Carolina Fernandez

Amazon Price: $19.95 (as of 11/15/2009)

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
