If you make money on your blog from advertising, affiliate earnings, donations, or product sales, we encourage you to donate the money you generate on Blog Action Day to a poverty related charity or organization. Blog Action Day supports these charitable organizations:

There are many major systematic reasons for poverty. The Global Fund combats AIDS, Tuberculosis, and malaria which have a crippling effect on the fight against poverty. In 2008 The Global Fund is the official Blog Action Day charity and we encourage bloggers to donate their day’s earnings to this organization.
