How to Support This Web Site & My Work

How to Support This Web Site & My Work

I built the original version of this web site in 1996. When it came to web site design and creation, I was entirely self-taught and self-funded - and still am. I regularly expand and update my web site based on my work experiences, research, travels and volunteering, continuing to fund it myself, mostly out of my own pocket but also from advertising I have on these pages. All of the material offered on pages on this web site is free to you, the reader. However, the majority of the many hours I spend developing and sharing material is unfunded.

If you have benefited from using any of these pages and would like to support the time that went into developing material, researching information, updating pages, etc., you can do so by doing any of the following:

Hire me! I offer a variety of consulting services that can help nonprofits, NGOs, government agencies and other mission-based organizations. I can undertake projects large and small, short-term and long-term.

Pay me whatever you think is appropriate via Paypal. My web site costs me $5 a month for hosting, plus about $100 a year for all the domain names I use. Internet access is anywhere from $40 to $90 a month. It costs me more than $700 a year to provide this web site - and that doesn't include my time in researching, developing and publishing these materials you use for free.

Consider making a regular monthly gift by becoming a patron (via patreon.com). As noted above, I need to raise about $700 a year to cover my web costs and Internet access.

Send me anything off of my Amazon wish list. Books and videos make me happy!

Purchase the book I wrote, which, like this web site, was also written and compiled by me in a completely unfunded capacity, and published by Energize, Inc. with partial funding by me as well:

If you want to show your appreciation in another way, you can make a donation to any of these nonprofits:

Knowbility, a nonprofit based in Austin, Texas that promotes accessibility for everyone online and digital inclusion for people with disabilities.

HAWCA (Humanitarian Assistance for the Women and Children of Afghanistan), an Afghan-based NGO that works to encourage the active participation of Afghan women in the reconstruction and development of a safe, just society where all Afghans - regardless of race, ethnicity, tribe, language, gender or religion - benefit equally from development.

Appalshop. Since 1969, this amazing nonprofit has documented and celebrated the life, culture and voice of people living in Appalachia and all of rural America. Appalshop is based in Whitesburg, Kentucky and houses an art gallery, 150-seat theater, a community radio station, a regional archive and media production and training facilities. Appalshop supports rural communities’ efforts to achieve justice and equity and solve their own problems in their own ways.

CARE, for their work in Afghanistan.

Mayhew International, a charity based in the UK which is the only organization I know of working to help dogs and cats in Afghanistan, where I lived for six months.

Desert Haven Animal Shelter, a severely-under-supported animal shelter in Nevada working in a high-poverty, very harsh-weather area of the USA.
