A Dollar A Day charitable giving project - US $1500 target this month - how donation recipients are chosen
A Dollar A Day is up and running and the donations, in and out, are flowing well.
I have now distributed three daily donations.
The first 10 SBD went to @schoolforsdg4 in Bangladesh, the second 10 SBD went to @thegreens in Cameroon.
By day 3 the donation pot had grown to 15 SBD per day. The first 15 SBD donation went out yesterday to @rhondak's @tarc animal rescue centre in the USA.
My great thanks to @cecicastor, @deliberator, @eroche and @karenfoster who have joined @cryptocurator, @gmuxx, @goldendawne, @mother2chicks and @starkerz and myself as daily SBD donators.
Thanks also to @hopehuggs who is supporting the project by giving daily donations directly to people in Venezuela.
With the current levels of donations the A Dollar A Day project should be distributing the equivalent of US $1500 in the first month.
If anyone else would like to join in the project donating 1 SBD each day, even if only for a few days, it would be great to have you on board. Maybe we can get the monthly total up to US$2000 !
Selecting the recipients
There are some really great well established and deserving organisations that are obvious candidates for receiving donations from A Dollar A Day like @schoolforsdg4 and @tarc.
There are some new projects like @thegreens that I am just finding out more about.
I am also keen to work with projects like @dreamsoftheocean, @papilloncharity and @steemhelpinghand, as well as individuals doing good work like @malos10, @bigdude, @bobydimitrov and @intrepidsurfer.
But with the amount of money I hope A Dollar A Day will be able to distribute over the coming months I am still looking for new projects to add to the potential donation list.
I would like to mention some of the criteria I will be using to select where to send the daily donations.
1. Make sure your project is visible - post about it regularly
2. Show how you are doing good and improving lives - it should be about people, other creatures or the planet
3. Be as open and transparent as you can - give details of what money is needed for and how much things cost
4. Communicate, communicate, communicate - respond to comments, get on Discord, get on Ginabot, answer messages
5. Follow up - when you do a project post about how it went afterwards, what worked well, what didn't work quite so well and how you will do it better next time
If you would like to start a new project in your area but are not sure where to start have a look at some of the projects that people like @malos10 and @bigdude have been doing. You don't have to have a big setup to do good.
If you have an idea or plan and are not sure about it feel free to message me on Discord @pennsif#9921.
If you know of any other good causes on steemit that we might donate to please let me know.
And if you would like to join the project by donating 1 SBD each day, for even a few days, do let me know.

@pennsif, I simply cannot tell you how much this helps. In this case, as it is so often with donations to TARC, I can tell everyone specifically where the 15SBD will go. Tomorrow morning, I have to drive a dog named "Teddy" (pictured) to meet transport in Abingdon VA. He's been adopted in New England, and is on his way to Vermont. I'll have more info about this on the @tarc blog in the next day or so.
Even though we don't have to take him all the way to Vermont, the meeting point is more than an hour from the rescue. The SBD will guarantee we have the gas to get there. THANK YOU, and much love to everyone who supports this initiative.
Hi @rhondak, that is great. Thank you for this information - it is especially good to see the donation have such a direct use.
Thaaanks to all to donors for join this !!
You guys are the one that make the dreams possible!
Honored to be included in that list among so many great initiatives!
A perfect charity, and happy to help.
Thank you for this @pennsif, it is a great concept <3 <3 <3
thank you for adding my project to your list. I feel blessed. I will be in touch soon.
One of the professors of the university where I study brings food to street children periodically, it is a small scale project because it does it with the profits of its publications and I do not think it has all those requirements mentioned in the publication but, You can take a look at his post @psicmarynes
