This is NOT a charity.



Welcome to THE List of Charities.

This is a LIST of charities with generous hearts heart who might help you if you post in their threads and follow their rules.

Even if this is stickied and bumps are not needed, they are a sweet show of support anyway, so please don't flame bumpers.

Please just ignore beggars.

Folks who ask for gold/items here won't get any donations here, and charity owners who see them begging here and ignoring this post will possibly avoid donating to them as well even if they go to their charities, so beggars are really hurting themselves even more than they are annoying.

HINT: Read the first page of posts of any charity you plan to ask for a donation CAREFULLY. If you do not follow the rules of their thread, you will not likely get a donation from them.

Post 12: Form For Adding Your Charity to this List

I have found it impossible to keep up with young charities, since many of them close in the first month. Please do not post this form until your charity has been giving for at least one month, as I will probably just ignore it. Thank you.

Please post your charity information in this thread using this format:


URL of Charity:
Charity Name:
Owner(s):
Requirements (minimum/maximum number of posts, length on Gaia, length/age of quest thread, etc.):


Please use Gaia urls that link to the part of your thread you wish supplicants to see first. Please do not use tinyurls or other non-Gaian urls, since they lead to those distracting banners from Gaia that detract from your thread. I will try to use the color you choose for your charity name, but the descriptions will be color coded by type of charity. I will not include those nifty banners, as I am trying to keep this page quick to load.

If you are a charity for Newbies, please link this thread on your first page so they can find it. Otherwise, it's probably not needed since questors know about this. Here's the code, and the image code if you want to use it. Thanks!

I also post links to Charity Events in Post 14 below. I define Charity Events as things like give-aways and parties that will only last for a short period of time, usually a month or less. If you are holding an event and would like me to post it, please use this form:

Charity Event

Name of Event:
Starting and Ending Dates:
Notes about event:

~ IF YOU CLOSE ~

IF YOU CLOSE please let me know. If it is only temporary, you can use the form below (at least name of charity and date closed). If I notice you are closed or not giving when I pass by and you did not let me know first, I will likely delete your charity from this list. Some hints to me that you are not giving: The owner/mule has not been online in a month, or has been online but has not posted in the charity for several days, or has posted that funds are low and no applications are being accepted or no donations are being given. If you notice you are no longer listed, you are welcome to reapply any time you are giving and I will add your charity back onto THE List.

Temporarily Closing

Name of Charity:
Classification(s) (Newbie, General, etc.):
Reason Closing (optional):
Date Closing:
Date to Reopen:

Charities that remain on this list more than a month or so will be deleted unless a specific time for reopening has been set. Any deleted charity is welcome to submit a new form for inclusion in THE List of Charities when they reopen.

Post 15: Earning Gold on Gaia

Earning gold on Gaia can be quick and easy. Here are some ways in one place. Good luck!

+ Post.

+ Visit your Aquarium. Also play Booty Grab in the Aquarium subforum. Learn more about how aquariums work here.

+ Vote in a poll in the Chatterbox forum or a poll guild.

+ Get Daily Chance at Home, My Gaia, Shops, Forums, World, and Games.

+ Finish a jigsaw puzzle in Games. The more pieces the puzzle has, the more gold you earn when you finish it (but the longer it will take). The other games can also earn you gold, but usually not as quickly or easily. Playing zOMG is very profitable for some folks. This thread has guides for zOMG!

+ Comment and then Vote on a work of art, an avatar and/or a home in an Arena.

+ Comment on someone's profile.

+ Comment on someone's journal entry.

+ Add a journal entry to your journal.

+ Sell an item from your Inventory or at a Shop. Sometimes selling things in the Marketplace or the Exchange will get you more than the half-price the stores give, but for very inexpensive things you may find no one will buy your item at any price. Also, you need a Trading Pass (which costs 500g) to sell things in the Marketplace.
