I love to hear what people are doing to make a difference. Today I learned from the guru of giving back - Oprah. Ok, maybe she isn't the guru, but she is one of the biggest advocates for it that I know. Today's topic on Oprah was looking back at past guests and where are they now. One of the guests was Stephen Paletta, who was the Million dollar winner on Oprah's Big Give in 1990. Well, he has continued what Oprah started by launching a website called GiveBack.org in which you can start your own foundation to raise money for charities:
"The Give Back Foundation (EIN 26-2449481) was established to allow any person to join GiveBack and set up their personal foundation account. The funds that accumulate in that account are part of the Give Back Foundation. Each member has the ability to direct the funds from their account to any charity in good standing with the United States Internal Revenue Service." - Giveback.org
Pretty awesome, huh?
So, The Artison has setup 'The Artison Firework Foundation' - with the idea that everyone is a spark that can set off a huge change in our communities, our world. Will you help The Artison make change one design at time? You can either by shopping with The Artison at http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheArtison (5% of each sale will go into The Artison Firework Foundation) or sign up with GiveBack.org and help spread the word at https://www.giveback.org/onehundreddays.aspx?refid=3765!
Wow! This is amazing. I love this idea! Way to go The Artison! Your heart is always in the right place...
