Charitocracy OBX's 29th check to February winner Outer Banks Relief Foundation for $700

We have good news about February winner Outer Banks Relief Foundation, right after this important update...

Charitocracy's Final Season: S8E2

In case you've missed my recent blog or social media posts, this is the second of Charitocracy's last 12 grants. We stopped taking donations and cancelled all recurring donations as of January 31. But we still have an exciting 2023 ahead because we'll be spending down our reserves. Each monthly pot will be bigger than the previous!

Since someone awesome asked me yesterday: You can indeed still sweeten the pot via PayPal donations. I'll keep that turned on through New Year's Eve. ❤️

February 2023 winner Outer Banks Relief Foundation

Yesterday we named Charitocracy OBX's 29th monthly winner! Congratulations to Outer Banks Relief Foundation, self-nominated as part of our mid-October live event. They ease financial burdens when tragedy strikes, and have provided over $2.4 million to 1,200 families in need. You can find their website here.

Now check out this video with testimonials from some of the families OBRF has helped. Then take a moment to feel good about your part in our collective $700 grant to help with their ongoing work!

Have a great March and be sure to log into Charitocracy OBX to update your votes or nominate a new cause!
