Title: $25 DonorsChoose gift card - 2BTC Post by: kgo on May 17, 2011, 12:39:14 PM I've got a donor's choice gift card code that somehow lets you give money to help classrooms. It's a 25 dollar value, but I'll let it go for two BTC. Everyone wins: you, me, and the children. Send me the money or throw it in ClearCoin, and I'll send you the code.

Alright, some more details here: DonorsChoose is a charity that allows you to direct your contributions to a school or program of your choice in a grassroots manner. That way the money goes where you want it. If you want to help kids in inner-city NYC, you don't have to worry about your money going to Alabama or vice versa. It's endorsed by Oprah. Steven Colbert is on the board of directors. I don't have any kids, and I don't know of any programs that I'm particularly vested or interested in. So I could just pick a random sub-charity, but thought I'd give someone else the opportunity to direct the money to a cause that is important to them. For 2 btc, worth about 14 bucks at this time, you can contribute $25 to a charity that you care about. Take a look at the site and see if there are any programs of interest to you: http://donorschoose.org Title: Re: $25 DonorsChoose gift card - 2BTC Post by: jbjbjb on May 25, 2011, 12:16:24 AM Could you donate it to my classroom? :)

Look at those first grader's faces. Help out a fellow bitcoiner. Title: Re: $25 DonorsChoose gift card - 2BTC Post by: msycitizen on May 25, 2011, 03:44:52 AM Thanks for putting this up for grabs! Another option is to consider this project: It Takes More Than a Village, To Nurture Planet Earth. Please help out high poverty first graders and Planet Earth at the same time! :) www.donorschoose.org/hyoo.
Thank you! :) Title: Re: $25 DonorsChoose gift card - 2BTC Post by: kgo on May 25, 2011, 03:55:04 AM I'm not putting it up for grabs. I'm a very greedy person looking to profit. Or more seriously, I don't have any particular interest in a given charity, so I thought I could make a bitcoin or two, and someone interested in one of these charities could give more money than it cost them, and myself, the buyer, and the sub-charity would all win and everyone would be happy.
But I suppose if I don't get any offers, I'll role the dice and donate to one of the charities listed here.

Make sure to mention bitcoin in your note for the project page so I know you did it :) Title: Re: $25 DonorsChoose gift card - 2BTC Post by: kgo on May 25, 2011, 11:24:49 PM Thanks...
