As you probably know, this week is Democratic Underground's Fourth Quarter 2009 fund drive. This is a completely independent website, and we depend on the generous contributions of our visitors to help cover our costs. We receive no funds from any other organizations. Other than advertising, our main source of income is small donations -- about $20 per donor.

With Thanksgiving next week, we decided to try something new this year to give back to the community. If you donate this week, we will give 10% of your donation to charity. A different charity has been assigned to each day. If you donate before 12 midnight Pacific Time (3am Eastern Time), we'll give 10% to help foster children:

 

Treehouse for Kids offers kids in foster care what all children so desperately need: a safe place to dream. Their core programs – Tutoring, Educational Advocacy, College and Career Planning, Little Wishes, Summer Camp and the Wearhouse – give foster children a real childhood as well as hope for the future. http://www.treehouse4kids.org

Please take a moment right now to donate. It's quick and easy and totally secure. Just click here:

Please kick and recommend this thread so more DUers can see it. Thanks.
