Wow, I missed the heifer giving project entirely. Were we trying to buy some Buffista a good wife? If those charities aren't just two examples, but the only two (so far), that's another strike against putting it on the links page, where people would be free to submit their own. Yet it doesn't seem like an FAQ. We could find a spot to put it, maybe in its own little hardcoded box on the Links page.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The heifer project is hand in hand with the baby gift for Joss and Kai. We're donating a goat in their honor.
It's no big, I just thought it'd be sort of a cool way for people to be all philanthropic, and to sort of introduce us as charitible people. The latter aspect is what i thought would be attractive in the FAQ part.

Look. It's Joss. The man is obsessed with goats and dairy products. And perhaps their tangy love child: goat cheese. Anyway, Heifer is all about helping moppets in developing countries and gently mocking and/or supporting Joss' odd yet charming obsessions with GOATS!

I thought a while ago that the Huckleberry Foundation was going to be the preferred charity, but it seems to have fallen by the wayside.
People from ME definitely gave to it / attended a function for it / donated stuff to an auction. It's a charity that provides free medical care for young people who are runaways or homeless, I believe.
Last time I looked, I only found one webpage and it seemed to be a smalltime thing associated with only one hospital in LA, though. Maybe they're not organised online enough for it to be easy to donate?
I'd like it not to be forgotten though.

It's LA Children's Hospital. Joss has been generous with the donations to them.

Thanks for that, Allyson. I don't know, there's just something that appeals to me about that charity. Of course if they're not organised enough to have a webpage, paypal account and whatever, one thing we might do for them one day is offer to set them up with more of an online presence. Just a thought.
Here's a link to a Buffy-related fundraising event -- a Buffy Bear Raffle

How 'bout a Blondie Bear Raffle for Spike/Harmony shippers?

LMAO!!!! That's Polgara...as in Polgara Demon's site. She's Kristen and my bestest girlfriend. I'll see about bringing her around to explain that fundraiser. There's a cute story.

I think that there should be an "Anyaland" to go w/the Nilly and Meija areas.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There used to be one, but then Anya stopped coming around.
