After months of lead up work, the pre-launch website for Foundation Beyond Belief is now live!
What is FBB? As the site says,
Foundation Beyond Belief is a 501(c)(3) charitable and educational foundation created (1) to focus, encourage and demonstrate humanistic generosity, and (2) to support a nationwide education and support program for humanist parents.
(Full disclosure: I’m on the board of directors)
I say pre-launch because, come January 1st, the full website will be available to use (including a social network, discussion forum, a list of beneficiaries to support, etc).
What can you do right now, though? You can sign up for membership, nominate charities we might feature and give money to in the future, apply to be a volunteer, and donate to the cause.
Here’s Executive Director Dale McGowan explaining what FBB is all about:
I’ve had the privilege to be on ground zero of two organizations as they formed from scratch. The first one was the Secular Coalition for America and you’ve all witnessed the phenomenal rise of that group. This is the other one. Just as I was with SCA, I’m *very* excited about the potential this group has. Finally, there’s an organized way to get Secular Americans to donate to good causes. It’s a perfect example of how Humanism works in action and how “immoral” atheists can indeed do very ethical things.
Please check out the site, leave a comment if you have one, and sign up to become a member.
More information will come in January, but you can help us get off to a fantastic start.
