Charitocracy's Final Season: S8E2

In case you've missed my recent blog or social media posts, this is the second of Charitocracy's last 12 grants. We stopped taking donations and cancelled all recurring donations as of January 31. But we still have an exciting 2023 ahead because we'll be spending down our reserves. Each monthly pot will be bigger than the previous!

Since someone awesome asked me yesterday: You can indeed still sweeten the pot via PayPal donations. I'll keep that turned on through New Year's Eve. ❤️

February 2023 winner Türkiye Earthquake Relief Fund

Last night we named Charitocracy's 78th monthly winner. Congratulations to Türkiye Earthquake Relief Fund, hosted by Turkish Philanthropy Funds, nominated by donor chesaustin. They provide immediate relief to survivors in the form of food, shelter, water, and medicine. You can find their website here.

Now check out this news clip with Executive Directory at Turkish Philanthropy Funds, Senay Ataselim Yilmaz, describing the devastation and discussing their relief efforts so far. Then feel good about your part in our collective $1100 grant to support their ongoing work.

Have a great March, and be sure to log into Charitocracy to update your votes or nominate a new cause!
