Voting competition (international): MyGivingCircle rolling charity voting competition for cash

Some will already be familiar with this competition.

People vote for their favourite charity or two favourite charities with the top ones (currently top 60 worldwide broken down by different regions) getting cash.

One can vote up once a week. There is no requirement to do it but it does of course bring in more votes to vote regularly.

In this competition it is probably best not to split votes and instead that most of the community vote for the charity with the best chance of winning.

Supporters of Invest in ME have done a good job promoting this competition so they seem the best charity to vote for if one is thinking tactically.

They have won cash at least three times in the past couple of years.

A few of these are run each year, some are three months long, some are shorter.

Disclaimer: I dislike the number of emails this venture send out; many other voting competitions are less annoying. But as it is yielding money I put up with it. Unlike any others I’ve seen, they ask for donations for charities too.

 

Current round of voting (ends at end of June):
—-
It is going to be tight. @Invest_in_ME are 544 votes behind 10th place (which would yield £1000). The charity has won prizes in this before so it is possible that they can win.

People anywhere in the world can vote.

If another ME/CFS charity starts gathering a lot of votes, I will likely highlight them as people have two votes. At the moment, I’m not sure any one is a clear good bet, but I could be wrong.

 

New round

75 days to go in the Sept 2023 Grants Round

Currently only Invest in ME and Emerge Australia are up high enough on the leader board to be in with a chance so it makes sense to do some strategic voting for them here. You can vote once a week for up to 3 charities (or more often if you also donate, I think anyway)
