Last month my wife and I decided to donate 50% of all income from this site to charity. We chose Common Hope to receive these donations, an organization in Guatemala dedicated to the education of Guatemala’s children. I’m happy to report that in January 2008, DR received $846 in revenue, resulting in a donation to Common Hope of $423. That brings our total donations to Common Hope in 2008 to $1,333.
Financial goals are a critical component of financial planning, and charitable donation goals are no exception. So after giving a lot of thought to what we might expect in 2008, we’ve decided to set as a goal giving $10,000 to Common Hope in 2008. Of course, this depends on how much revenue this site generates, but $10,000 would be a real challenge and would go a long way to helping children in need. I’ve added a progress bar in the far right sidebar to track our contributions to Common Hope. This goal seems impossible, but why not aim high.
