Last Minute Donation Destinations for 2011

Because of the tax benefits and human procrastination, December 31 is the biggest day for donations of the year.

If you haven't already, go online and make a donation to your favorite charity.  If you need some ideas, here are some great ones.  I personally know at least one person at each one, and your money will go to a great cause.

SoleHope
Watch this video, then get ready to donate here: http://www.solehope.com/.  My friend Dru (a killer bass player) and his wife co-founded this ministry.



Servants Heart Ministry- My friend Rob co-founded this program.  We're taking my whole family there this spring.

Project 61 - This non-profit helps take orphans who literally live in a trash dump in Ethiopia, and sends them to a school.  My friend Shawn helps run it here in the US (on their front page, he's the dude in the goofy hat), and I've met the former orphan who lived in the trash dump who helps run it in Ethiopia.  I love how well you get to know the child you're sponsoring.

Young Leaders Council- This Nashville organization helps train the next generation of non-profit board members.  Nothing like taking business skills and helping others change Nashville and the world.

Visiting Orphans- They specialize in creating 'righteous discomfort'.  Their efforts have actually helped spawn several non-profits.
