How The Internet Helped The Red Cross Raise Money
from the good-for-them dept
By now, if you haven't seen any of the various online ways to donate money to the Red Cross, you probably haven't been surfing the web for the past week. The Red Cross today announced just how helpful these online donations sites have been. Of the $102 million raised in the past week, $36.5 million came from online donations. Not bad, though, I'm sure they could still use more.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
