June's Charities of the month

So as part of my store I will be having up to three charities of the month.  What does that mean?  Well it means that each month I will pick up to three charities that have been emailed to me either through this site or my store.  Nominations will be accepted from the 1st until the 15th the month before. 

To be eligible the charity must be a 501(c)3, receive less than $100,000 in public grants for the previous year, have under 10% of funds used for administrative fees (not including annual audit fees) and not be of a political or religious affiliation.

I will check qualifying factors for each charity before they become the charity of the month.

What does it mean to be the charity of the month? Well it means if the charity has been chosen as the charity of the month they will receive a monetary donation of 10% of the sales (not including shipping) when the customer enters the code specific to the charity in during check out in the "Note to Angie Gets Crafty" section.

Since my store is new, for the month of June I picked three charities that I have worked with and know that match eligibility for a monetary donation.

The charities are:

June's Charities of the month:

1) HHT Foundation - code: HHT

2) A Reason To Survive  - code: ARTS

3) Southwest Search Dogs - code: SWSD

Oh and as an added bonus.  Any amount over $25.00 will be matched.
