Let's do it Again!

[Guest guest]

American Express is offering $200,000 to five different charities every three

months. People will be able to vote for their favorite charities once a week.

The next three-month round of voting starts on Jan. 1, 2011, but they are

accepting nominations now. To be eligible, a non-profit organization must be

nominated by many people, meet the American Express requirements and be approved

by the TakePart Advisory Board.

They have no requirements on the size of a charity's balance sheet - only on the

scope of their outreach programs, efficacy, mission goals and accomplishments.

We know that many patient organizations in our overall community fill this

requirement.
