It has always been my firm belief that we need to take care of each other directly and not wait around for the government to do it for us. Back when I was a Christian, I supported many Christian charitable organizations and often shared links to those organizations with my blog readers.
Well, charitable organizations need not be Christian, but finding ones that don’t mix the Good News with their good deeds can be harder to find. That is why I am delighted to present to you Foundation Beyond Belief, an organization designed to make it easier for atheists and secular humanists to unite as a force for good in our world.
-
Foundation Beyond Belief is a non-profit charitable and educational foundation created (1) to focus, encourage and demonstrate the generosity and compassion of atheists and humanists, and (2) to provide a comprehensive education and support program for nontheistic parents.
-
The Foundation will feature ten charitable organizations per quarter.
-
Members join by signing up for a monthly automatic donation in the amount of their choice, and distribute it however they wish among the categories. Contributions are fully tax-deductible.
-
Members can join a social network and forums centered on the ten categories of giving, advocate for causes, and help us choose new beneficiaries each quarter.
-
Featured beneficiaries may be founded on any worldview so long as they do not proselytize. At the end of each quarter, 100 percent of the donations are forwarded and a new slate of beneficiaries selected.
-
On the educational side, the Foundation will help create and fund local groups for the education and social support of humanist/atheist parents.
-
Our Mission: To demonstrate humanism at its best by supporting efforts to improve this world and this life; to challenge humanists to embody the highest principles of humanism, including mutual care and responsibility; and to help and encourage humanist parents to raise confident children with open minds and compassionate hearts.
