Hey dear Steemers!
It's been a week since I posted about the idea of creating a verified Steemit Charity page (and more than a month since I have been thinking about it :)... And now it's ready to take off!!
Great minds think alike... And I found a great team from @cryptovpn account, who have decided to create @steemitcharity - an designated account working exclusively for charitable posts!
I immediately thought that we should work together rather then compete with similar accounts!
So now comes the exciting part:)
Here's how the account is going to work:
- We will receive the stories from Steemit community, which must have only ONE thing in common - the story shall support a charitable or social cause
- The stories will be hand picked and posted from @steemitcharity account
- Each author will be mentioned in the story to help them get more visibility
- All Steem Dollars from the account will be withdrawn and sent to the selected charities after a month from the posting date
- We will be publishing regular reports on how we have distributed the money - similar to the one I have posted myself before
Simple! You want to support a good cause? Send us your post and we will tell the world about it!
Transparent! We won't retain any % or fees for managing this account - all the votes go for the charities that YOU pick!
Diverse! You care about the animal welfare rather than education? No problem, send us your charity of choice and we'll feature it!
Personally, I am hoping to get more support for small to medium size non-profits and even some individuals in need.
Many large foundations have their pools of donations and government support, and Steemit is here to empower people!
And, of course, my project Handmade Charity that I am fundraising for in my posts will also be a part of the @steemitcharity team!
So what are the next steps?
Follow the account @steemitcharity
Look for our weekly charity posts and upvote! (If you like the cause, of course:)
Send us info about your favorite charity or the cause you would like to raise money for - we'll review it to include in our next post!
And I'll be the regular contributor to this account with our Handmade Charity news and some more updates from the non-profit sector... But I won't reveal all the secrets at once!:)
Stay tuned!
UPD: and here is the post from @steemitcharity to prove that we work together now!
