Hello Rassah, How are you? Can I recommend a 501c3 non profit for the Bitcoin100 donation? There is a group that I am trying to get to start using Bitcoin that is in the process of creating their "BTC donate" button. Generation Green empowers citizens to voice their concerns and implement earth saving actions. Through heightened awareness we encourage wise choices that ensure sustainable living and the preservation of the environment. Since 1990, Generation Green (a 501c3) has sought to inform and encourage environmental action in CCC. Generation Green has hosted dozens of workshops and attended countless events. Our efforts have reached all segments of the community. From local arts and crafts classes to attendance at City Council meetings—our goal is to educate all residents in the county about environmental issues. http://www.generationgreen.com/I just wanted to run it by you first before they set up they start accepting BTC. What is the best process for them to follow to qualify for the Bitcoin100 donation? Thanks! August Not sure what to make of this one. Thoughts? I'm leaning heavily yes. Not sure what your concerns, if any, may be, Rassah. Got a bump reminder about this. I guess I should go ahead and send them money?

Nothing to report just yet ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) On another note, Let's Talk Bitcoin ran our spot... https://soundcloud.com/mindtomatter/e33-live-from-new-york-letsThe spot runs at like 20:05 or so. Thanks Adam!

I just received a PM from steelboy (a user on this forum) and he has given me permission to copy and paste the following: Hi Phin, don't know if you remember me from the instawallet thread.
Now that my coins are safely back in my wallet I have started a BTC business based in the UK.
The website is under construction right now but our twitter page is up and running. You might notice the big gap over the last few months where i lost quite a lot of heart during the instawallet stuff. :/ Anyway, we are up and running again and are looking at selling our first physical coins at a London meetup tomorrow night at The Pembury Tavern in Hackney, London's first BTC accepting pub.
Bobsbitcoins will pledge 5% of any profits from the sale of physical coins over August, September & October to the bitcoin100 program.
If you feel like tweeting about that that would be great and will help raise awareness of us too.
Not really sure what to expect but i know there are going to be buyers there and i am sure we will be the cheapest so let's see how it goes.
I will get back to you on Tuesday to tell you how we do.
James If at all possible, please consider supporting Bitcoin by supporting James, and other bitcoiners, at The Pembury Tavern in Hackney meetup tomorrow. If Bitcoin 100 happens to earn a few bitcents from the endeavour, the better, thus allowing some future NPO to enjoy the fruits of the labor. Thank you, James, for thinking about Bitcoin 100, and here's to hoping the meetup is a success. Bruno Kucinskas

Got this e-mail today: Hi Rassah, My name is Brian Sovryn and I'm a host on the nationally syndicated radio program and podcast Free Talk Live. I wanted to get in touch with you about advertising with the show as I think our audience would be very interested in Bitcoin100 as we have one of the largest bitcoin listenerships in the world. We have radio prices that are very low and unmatched in the industry, and we also accept Bitcoin as payment. In fact right now we are having a sale in August where all radio ad packages (not live reads) are half price! That means that :30 second ads are now only $15 per ad, and :60 second ads are only $30 per ad. Hope to hear from you soon, I'd personally love to have Bitcoin100 advertising on Free Talk Live, and would love to work out an ad package with you! I want to make sure you have some info. Free Talk Live is on 110+ stations, 2 XM channels, has been named to the top of the list of Up and Coming Radio Personalities by the Publisher of TALKERS Magazine, and has ad packages from $600 to $6000 a month.

A quick primer on Free Talk Live: > Nationally Syndicated on 110+ stations - Coast to Coast, click here for a map. > XM Channels 243 and 244. > 7 days a week, 7p to 10p Eastern. > Talkers' Heavy Hundred #47-2013, # 52-2012, #79-2011, #84-2010, #97-2009, > Best Political Podcast 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010 > On air since 2002 > Hosts' ages: Mark, 42; Ian, 32; Stephanie, 29; Brian, 32 > Neither Republican nor Democrat > Demos: [Podcast, Men 18-44] [AM Radio, Men 65+] [FM Radio, Men 25-54] [XM, Men 35-64] > Map of stations here: radio.freetalklive.com > List of affiliates here: affiliates.freetalklive.com > Full ad production > Our list of past and present advertisers includes Nestles, WebEx, John Grisham, Bill Cosby, Ruger, Jim Cramer, Subway Sandwich Shops, AutoZone, Home Depot, Kodak, AmeriGas, Pro Flowers, Life-Lock and the History Channel. > Ad packages from $600 to $6000 per month Sign up for our monthly Newsletter #1 Up-and-Coming Radio Personalities named by Michael Harrison, Publisher of Talker Magazine "The next generation of issues oriented talk." -- Skip Joeckel, Talk Shows USA -- Brian Sovryn, Co-host & Advertising Executive, Free Talk Live, freetalklive.com, 603-852-8708 Free Talk Live owes our 110+ stations, 2 XM channels and status as 47th Talk Show in the Nation to its AMPlifiers and supporters. Please support us by bookmarking this link: http://amazonus.freetalklive.com and using it everytime you shop at Amazon. Thank you! I'm leaning towards "no" since we're not exactly a money making machine. Thought maybe this will help us become one? Comments?

Maybe a banner ad here on the forum at least, if not that radio spot in particular. I've been poking around the forums for a while now, and just heard about this project. I think a bit of advertising might do the trick nicely. Even very frugal non-profits budget money for fundraising expense. Recruiting donors is a necessary part of doin' good in my opinion.

Nothing is stopping you from running ads yourself, but people who donated to the Bitcoin100 expect the money to go to charities as much as possible.

I would like to contribute at least 1 BTC and would like to recommend a 501c3, The Down Syndrome Association of Greater Charlotte. I am the President of the organization and am very confident that they are willing toaccept BTC.
Quick recap of some major programs done by the DSA-GC:
Camp Horizon - sends kids with Down Syndrome to an overnight camp, normally they are excluded from most camp program. Camp is run by volunteers and greatly subsidized by the organiza tion.
321 Dash - (Bitcoin 100 could sponsor with its donation) 5k to spead awarenes, all proceeds are donated to Research Down Syndrome
First Call - trained volunteer parents to connect new parents to once they receive a diagnosis
Together in Education - provide schools training material, rresource, and contacts to assist teachers with children in their classrooms
Thank you for your consideration!
