All money collected through our $5 suggested donation goes to that month’s charity. Other Means aims to engage not just writers and charities but to help people change their ideas about charity. By working with local community organizations and mobilizing attendees to give small donations. Other Means hopes to dress populate’s minds about how much you have to give to alter a difference-to show that small donations matter and that charity isn’t just for the rich.
