I come bearing donation receipts. For (I believe) the fourth year in a row, we've donated December's Patreon earnings to various charities than support a wide variety of causes.
This month's earnings were $2500 split five ways, so $500 to each of the following charities
Doctors Without Borders - Humanitarian medical care in areas affected by conflict & disease
All For Lunch - Paying off school lunch debt. Based in Atlanta. Can you believe this charity has to exist?
The Davies Shelters - I worked here when Foolish Baseball was getting started! They have two homeless shelters -- one for men, and one for women & children.
Negro Leagues Baseball Museum - You're probably familiar, but located in Kansas City and presided over by Bob Kendrick.
GiveWell Top Charities Fund - Distributes donations based on cost-effectiveness AKA bang for your buck.
Although I'm the one organizing and facilitating the donations, this was of course done with the money you give me monthly, so both I and the charitable organizations thank you for the support.
