When/Why does TarValon.Net, Inc. participate in intermittent drives and donations?
Though we already have regularly scheduled philanthropic activities, sometimes a need arises outside of these programs. If the cause is important to our general membership, and there is a desire to contribute, then we will run a program specifically for the need.
I know of a cause that we should support! How can I suggest this?
TarValon.Net, Inc. participates in other philanthropy activities when the need arises. These special activities are usually to support a cause that is of particular interest to our community.
Servants of All is a program to encourage our members to participate in philanthropic activities outside of our organization. Members will receive recognition for donating money/goods, volunteering their time, and doing other charity work in their communities.
Members can contribute to TarValon.Net at any time online through paypal. We also hold an annual drive to raise money to support our community. During our annual drive, we set fundraising goals and give members incentives to contribute.
