Title: Raising Money for Good Causes by Just Being Alive
Post by: mudworm on March 08, 2010, 10:32:52 AM
That is if you move at all.

I normally do not advocate for any company or organization because I believe people are capable of making their own choices. But this time, I'd like to bring to everyone's attention this simple method of supporting good causes of your choice by just being alive.  This can be done through Plus 3 Network (http://www.plus3network.com/). All you need to do is logging your daily activities there. The idea is, Plus 3 has secured a set of beneficiaries (causes) that people can choose to support as well as a corresponding set of sponsors (one-to-one relationship). Once you choose your cause to support, any activity you log (by hand typing or using your GPS) through their site will help raise money for that cause, which will be donated by the corresponding sponsor.

To be honest, in the beginning, I was a bit thrown off by the fact that Plus 3 was not a non-profit organization, so when I had trouble uploading my GPS data first time I tried a year ago, I did not try again. But I've come to terms with that grudge since. After all, it's a great idea. We do these activities anyway, and this is a simple way to make them count. The people who came up with the idea and the platform deserve to be awarded. So, here I am, giving a shout out on their behalf. BTW, last night when I tried, uploading data from my GPS was extremely easy.

Disclaimer: I have no connection with Plus 3 at all other than being a member

Below is a list of the activities that can be logged as of today. Now, do you see what I mean by raising money by just being alive?

F'ueco, tell me, how does it work? Doesn't it solely depend on how much money you have raised through your activities?

Pffftt...it was my first wall and it was more like $1.04...and you should have earned at least $0.65 for following it.
