Dear Skepticoners,
One of our most amazing sponsors this year is Foundation Beyond Belief (FBB). From their website:
Foundation Beyond Belief is a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation created to focus, encourage and demonstrate humanist generosity and compassion.
Our programs include:
HUMANIST GIVING, featuring five charitable organizations per quarter, one in each of the following cause areas:
- Education
- Poverty and Health
- Human Rights
- The Natural World
- Challenge the Gap (charities based in other worldviews)
Members join the Foundation by signing up for a monthly automatic donation in the amount of their choice, then set up personal profiles to indicate how they would like their contribution distributed among the five categories.
At the end of each quarter, all donations designated for our featured charities are forwarded, no percentage is retained, and a new slate of beneficiaries is selected.BEYOND BELIEF NETWORK, a network of over 75 local freethought organizations across the U.S. putting compassionate humanism into action through community volunteering and fundraising.
HUMANIST CRISIS RESPONSE, raising funds and awareness for major humanitarian crises worldwide.
PATHFINDERS PROJECT, a yearlong international service trip (July 2013-July 2014). Four humanists are undertaking clean water, education, and sustainability projects in Asia, Africa, and Latin America while gathering information and establishing partnerships to build an ongoing Humanist Service Corps.
We couldn’t be happier for their support in making this year’s Skepticon happen and highly encourage all of you to head over to their Facebook or Twitter and give them some Skepticon love!
Many, many thanks to a great sponsor!
The Skepticon Team
