After the Soulforce debacle, Foundation Beyond Belief has a new beneficiary in our Human Rights category:
We are pleased to announce that MARRIAGE EQUALITY USA has been selected as our new beneficiary in the Human Rights category for 4th quarter 2010.
MEUSA is a U.S. national organization dedicated to securing the legal recognition of same-sex marriage through education and outreach.
…
“Our sincere gratitude to you and the Foundation!” wrote Christine Allen, leadership coordinator for MEUSA. “We function on a shoestring, a threadbare one at that, so every cent is very deeply appreciated….Our money goes directly into the monthly expenses to keep the org going, to put supplies and public education materials directly into the hands of our volunteer leaders and chapter members.”
Like Soulforce, there are religious people in the MEUSA leadership, but unlike Soulforce, there’s no religious overtones to this organization. They’re doing the right things for the right reasons.
If you’d like to give to MEUSA and a lot of other excellent charities, it’s not too late! Consider becoming a member of Foundation Beyond Belief.
