Cyber Giving Monday November 28th

I received a tweet from a great philanthropic friend by the name of Carlos Garcia today. Carlo also completed 365 days of giving – he is Living Philanthropic. Carlo`s tweet asked me to share some news – it was titled Cyber Giving Monday. Read Carlo`s post and consider giving today and be part of the new philanthropy that is sweeping or world. It`s time we all started Living Philanthropic.

Let’s all take the Cyber Giving Monday Challenge. (Taken directly from Living Philanthropic)

Step 1. Find a organization you love and want to support. (I’m choosing Atin Afrika Foundation)

Step 2. Make an online contribution, whatever you can afford $1, $5, $1,000 on Monday, November 28th, 2011.

Step 3. Post to Facebook and Twitter about Cyber Giving Monday and the charity you chose to donate to. (Please use hashtag: #cybergivingmonday)

Step 4: Report your donation to the Living Philanthropic tally: http://bit.ly/lp-tally

Step 5: Invite a friend to do the same.
