Payday at Squidoo is always a good day.

First there are the hardworking lensmasters who cash out with hearts in their eyes, and send me notes like the one I got 5 minutes ago: “I still can’t believe Squidoo is free. You guys must be nuts, but in a good way I guess. LOL. I just got $310 from you guys, and that’s only one month’s worth! I would have made these lenses for nothing.”

Then, and even more thrilling, I get to mail out checks to nonprofit organizations that are changing the world — I mean really out there doing it, every single day.

Our Squidoo Charity Fund, which is entirely stocked by royalty donations from lensmasters, recently sent tens of thousands of dollars to these inspiring, upstanding orgs:

MyTwoFrontTeeth
Donors Choose
A Day of Hope
California Community Foundation
Steve’s Club
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

So, a loud and hearty thanks to the lensmasters who made that possible.

And a special thanks to 2 lensmasters, Doctor Kirsti Dyer and Christopher Scott, who totally, totally get that lenses are vital tools for fundraising and getting the word out.
