Fellow Reefers,
Consumer Reports says most charitable giving is done during the month of December. I learned this because I am sitting in my home office writing checks to my church, library, and a few others I care about and was curious. I also realized that although I don't blink on spending 150 dollars on a piece of elegance coral, I have never given a penny to a charity that works to save our oceans.
That will change this year. I'm far from rich, and I know many are working paycheck to paycheck during this difficult time. But reefing ain't cheap, and I have noticed in this forum many that seem to be like me; established adults with some means to indulge in the hobby they love. Now I know that just because you own a dog doesn't mean you need to give to the ASPCA, but I have never seen a topic on here related to charitable giving and I thought it important.
Any way, I have picked the charity I will give a little money to this year. If you have an inkling to do the same, or, you know of a good charity that relates to this hobby of ours please consider posting the name of it here (if this is allowed). I used Charity Navigator to make sure the one I selected gave a high percentage of resources directly to the sanctity of the ocean life I love, not to the CEO.
Happy Holidays everyone!
