How do I donate 

Squidoo splits its revenue with its "co-op" of lensmasters. 5% goes straight to charity, first. Then 50% goes to the lensmasters. 45% goes to Squidoo. The site estimates that nearly half of all the lensmasters on the site are donating their royalties to any of 65 featured charities.

To donate your lensmaster's 50% to charity, go to the edit mode of a lens, edit your "payment options" in the right hand side bar to change to the Squidoo Charity Fund or your selected charity.

If you want to change your payment options for all lenses, change your "Global Payment Settings" in your profile.
