		<description>Actually,  most of the ideas with the exception of the volunteer time is not an outright charitable donation. For example with teleseminars, this is considered a marketing expense for those involved as  there was a direct benefit, and the Great Blog Off, without more information is also more than likely a marketing expense as well.  All that said, the efforts are good intentioned, but the stategy for small business owners with their giving is what is most important despite economic times.


Currently, in the philanthropy field, microlending and micro financing organizations are facing some tough supply-demand issues. One of the laregest one and most notable went through this about 4-6 months ago.</description>

		<description>I like the idea with the donations but I&#039;m not shure if this really helps...?

Best regards from Austria,
