Welcome to SkepticsGive!

What is SkepticsGIVE?

• A group of skeptics dedicated to giving back to society through donations, charity work and social activism.
• A resource for skeptics and skeptical groups to find different chartable and non-profit organizations to donate their time and resources to, based on their interests.
• A place to match up non-profit and charitable organizations with groups who can provide help or donations.

Goals

SkepticsGIVE recognizes that there is a large, powerful community of intelligent, critical thinking skeptics seeking to make a difference in the world. SkepticsGIVE wants to give this group a voice in society and to have skeptics be recognized in society as a force for good.

What can you do?

1. Sign up your skeptical organization as a member of the SkepticsGIVE network. Membership is free – just fill out a simple form, outlining your group and the types of charitable activities you are interested in participating in. You can also work with SkepticsGIVE to come up with ideas for events and fundraising for a particular charity you are interested in supporting. The web site isn't fully functional so for now, just email us at skepticsgive@gmail.com.
2. Submit a charity to the SkepticsGIVE database. The web site isn't fully functional so for now, just email us at skepticsgive@gmail.com. SkepticsGIVE is looking for worthy, 'skeptic-safe' charities and non-profits that skeptics can contribute to. Qualifying organizations can be educational or social organizations but should be secular and non-political in nature.
3. Contribute to SkepticsGIVE. Note: SkepticsGIVE does NOT yet have 501(c)3 status. We are moving forward with our work and donating all proceeds of any fundraisers to other organizations that do have full non-profit status. If you would like to make a monetary contribution, you can contribute directly to SkepticsGIVE to support our current projects or you can donate directly to the organization selected for the individual project.
   

If you would like to volunteer your time or talent, SkepticsGIVE is looking for people to help in several areas:

1. Graphics/Web design – we need help with our web site design
2. Database/Web development – we have several basic forms that need to be converted into databases for the SkepticsGIVE data to be stored.
3. Hands in Atlanta – SkepticsGIVE is going to do our first fundraiser in November, 2008. We need help! If you’re interested in helping publicize the event, working at the event itself or donating starter funds for the event, we’d appreciate it.
