Charity

Since 2003, we've donated more than $5,100 to various charities.
Some of our favorite non-profit organizations and causes are listed below.
They're all rated favorably by charitynavigator.org, an independent charity evaluator.

The Jack Thompson Foundation and Wildlife Warriors are not rated by Charity Navigator because they are Australian-based charities. Even so, we especially recommend supporting the Jack Thompson Foundation, which directly helps Aboriginal communities. We also support Aboriginal culture via direct and indirect purchases of traditional didgeridoos, boomerangs, bull-roarers and other items.
