Over time, I've had the good fortune of being able to support a number of worthwhile organizations. If you are in a position to give, please consider joining me in ensure those doing good can continue their work.
Technology Activism, Journalism, and Creative Writing
- Independent Federated Trust and Saftey (IFTAS)
- Mastodon Ongoing Development
- Wikimedia Foundation (the folks behind, among other things, Wikipedia)
- The Internet Archive
- The Markup, nonprofit practitioners of data-driven journalism
- MinnPost, a Minnesota nonprofit for independent journalism
- Clarkesworld Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine
In the past, I’ve also donated to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and The Long Now Foundation. I also have supported several independent creators’ Patreons.
Climate Action
- The Sunrise Movement, Promoting Youth Activism for a Green New Deal
- Project Wren
- Eden Reforestation Projects
- Nature Conservancy in Minnesota
Previously, I’ve also supported Ecologi (formerly Offset Earth). I wrote about my initial impressions of each of these services several years ago.
Community Growth and Healing
- Electronics Recycling and Jobs Programs by Repowered
- Relief efforts by World Central Kitchen
- That Capital Area Food Bank
- American Immigration Council
Preivous groups I supported included People Incorporated, a group dedicated to supporting mental health and community wellness in the St. Paul, MN area. There was also Martha's Table. In 2020, I also supported 'The Great Slate' of candidates through a donation to ActBlue. At the end of 2021, I made a one time donation to Doctors Without Borders. I also gave to the House for All Sinners and Saints, a Denver-based ELCA congregation, for many years.
