Donation Station for the Ride

I want this ride to be about more than just riding my bike across the US . Given there are many solid philanthropic organizations out there, it was difficult to choose one. I've settled on a terrific local organization that's doing great good on the planet. Global Greengrants by name, and you can find them online at greengrants.org. They have a fantastic model for making micro-focused difference-making grants. It's been 8 years since I hit you up for a donation to a wonderful cause, I hope you've been saving your ducats.

My request is that you donate at least a penny to Greengrants for every mile I ride, equal to $29.01. If you wish to give more, well, 2 pennies a mile is $58.02, and so on. If you can't donate, no worries. You now know of one more wonderful organization when your time comes to give back. Here is their donation page, go directly to them if you wish: http://www.greengrants.org/about.giving.html.
