Search Related Philanthropic Foundations

This happens every year. The Yuletide holidays leave a massive hole in the world of search engine news. To be blunt, practically nothing major is happening at this time. In the spirit of the holidays, I wanted to take a look at two of the largest search related philanthropic organizations and ask readers to consider ways to support their work, aside from monetary donations, as neither really needs financial help. The first is the largest private philanthropic organization in the world, the Acumen Fund . The Fund focuses on supporting,"...entrepreneurial approaches to developing affordable goods and services for the 4 billion people in the world who live on less than $4 a day." While neither Google or Bill and Melinda need financial assistance, the people(s) and projects they work with need your moral support and if possible, cooperation. As Internet entrepreneurs, we have a great deal to offer others. Setting aside some real estate on your website to promote these and other worthwhile foundations will promote awareness. Perhaps 2006 can be the year we truly decide to make poverty as unacceptable as slavery. All it takes is the will and where there is the will, there is a way. Happy Holidays.
