In Taking charge: How to be a proactive patient
Shared with the public

I'm going to be selling a few items on eBay and I have submitted you as a contact to have BCAN invited to register with MissionFish (http://www.missionfish.org/). This will enable BCAN to receive charitable contributions from proceeds of sales, should the seller wish to contribute in this way. Could you please give this your attention, or direct it to the appropriate party so that I may contribute a percentage of my sales? Thank you so much.
Sincerely, Jonathan M. Magoon

Jonathan,

Thanks for coming up with this easy way for people to donate to BCAN. I am looking into signing BCAN up and will be back to you within a few days with the details.

Best,

There is actually a sort of bonus involved for the seller who donates to these non-profits as well. I think if your donation is high enough, eBay gives you a break on their fees as a sort of matching.
