We support a number of initiatives and movements. See below for details on each one.
Think Global-
I have maintained an account on Kiva.org since 2014. My Impact Progress report (as of 2-18-2026) has- 1,629 loans completed, 45 loans failed repayment, 71 current loans. My top lifetime achievements are Woman’s Equality, Basic Needs, Climate Action, Refugee Equality, US Economic Equality. 41 of the “failed to repay” loans were made for a new non-profit in Mexico City offering cataract surgery to the local population in 2018. The surgeries were done and it was a post-surgical fundraiser, so I do not consider them “failed”. Don’t let this dissuade you from participating in this micro-loan organization! All of that was done with an overall investment of $2,00.00 through the years with no withdrawals, providing a value of $43,625.00 in aid. Now if only I could find a standard bank with that return.
Act Local-

We Carry – India Temple Incense
A portion of the proceeds from the manufacturer’s sale of this product goes toward the Song of India Association that helps needy children in India. In the year 2022 they celebrated the 20th anniversary of the charity. From their information-
A portion of the sales of India Temple products goes to support over 30 underprivileged boys and girls in the villages of Rajasthan. With your help, they are able to provide these children everything they need to succeed in their education. This includes but is not limited to their school books, school supplies, school fees, uniforms, shoes, extra tutoring, medical and eye exams. They have promised these children that they will continue to receive help from the charity as long as they continue their education. We are proud that some students have graduated high school and are continuing on to higher education. One student is studying for his CPA certification while two others are preparing for engineering college entrance exams. These three students have become role models for the younger children to look up to. All “Song of India” children have taken the oath “I will help at least one poor child in his/her education after I become self-dependent”. All the organizers involved are volunteers who are helping these children in their native villages.
