Much like profile pages found on social sites and crowdfunding sites (like Patreon, Kickstarter, Go Fund Me, Facebook, etc.) this page is the beginning of showing which organizations, institutions, artists, and other entities which I’m supporting with a mixture of my time, talent and/or treasure. If you’re looking for something to support yourself, I can highly recommend any of the following which include links to the organization as well as ways to support them:
Organizations
Non-profits, institutions, and other larger organizations I support on an ongoing basis with my volunteer time, talent, and/or treasure:

- Sycamores is a leading behavioral health and child welfare agency, creating life-changing programs and services which impact some of the most vulnerable children, young adults, adults and families in our community.

It’s the holiday season and I’ve already gotten dozens of letters, emails, and calls for support for a variety of charities. Also in the wake of Patreon’s recent attempt to change their payments structure, I’ve recently seen some people attempting to set up their own payment pages to allow people to support their work or efforts on many fronts, whether they be artistic, creative, or even business-oriented.
To that end, the missing piece on the other side of the equation seems to be the profile page of sorts that identifies me as a supporter of various causes. To remedy that, I’ve created a /Supporting page as the beginning of showing which organizations, institutions, artists, and other entities which I’m actively supporting or have supported in the past.
If you’re looking for something to support yourself, I highly recommend any of the organizations which I list there. I’ve added links to the organizations themselves as well as quick links for how to support them directly.
For the technically inclined, I’ve marked up the organizations with h-cards and include their homepages with u-url and p-name microformats as well as the rel=”payment” and u-payment microformats.
