The Raising of Funds

So, a couple things to note:

1) I am taking further initiative to raise money for other organizations while I'm at it.

2) I'm not sure what organizations to work with (also wondering if I need to let these organizations know that I'm promoting their work?).

There is a great organization called Children International that I have previously been a sponsor of. Since I am intending on returning from the Antarctic with an presentation to elementary schools and middle schools, I thought it might be neat to spread the word internationally. It is quite a bit easier for us here in the United States to achieve goals (relatively speaking) but not so much for the little ones who's families have a monthly income of sometimes less than a hundred dollars.

15% of what I raise will go to Children International. (I would post the link but this is a quick post as I am feeling a little lazy after dinner).

Another 15% will go to an antarctic/wildlife preservation sort of thing...but I have yet to find the right one. I'll be doing the research...and I will be sure to let you know asap.
