In case you weren't aware (like me), tomorrow is #GivingTuesday. There is going to be an attempt to set the Guinness World Record for most money raised online for charity in 24 hours. So, if you were or were not yet thinking of end of year tax deductible donations, I'm here to remind you that tomorrow might be a good day to do that. AND, if I may, I'm going to point you to a great charity called, Poverty2Prosperity.org (linked below) which is a 501(c)3 non-profit charity I created back in 2008 to make zero percent interest microloans to the working poor. We've made well over 7,000 loans since then and, amazingly, after all that time, our repayment rate is 99.61%. Every cent that comes back in repayments goes right back out to support yet another person trying to work their way out of poverty. We make loans around the world and in the United States too. We are giving help-outs rather than hand-outs. So anyway, thanks for considering P2P for your end of year tax deductible donation consideration!

p.s. We have some great specific funds beside our general fund too, like loans to women entrepreneurs and support for loans for education and tuition fees. We are trying to set up a fund to help support housing which provides stability - all of these things help to break the cycle of poverty. Also, PayPal will add in an additional 1% to your donation tomorrow.
