Cost-free giving!

Looking for a quick, easy, and affordable way to help your favorite non-profits this holiday season? Now is the chance to give at no cost!

Facebook and Chase Community Giving have partnered together to give away $5 million to 100 small organizations like Human Rights USA, and they want YOU to vote for the organizations that matter most to you!

This is your chance to support the organization that:

• helped hold a human rights abuser accountable for atrocities committed in Liberia;
• assists victims of human trafficking around the world;
• ensures that victims of gender-based abuse, such as forced marriage, receive asylum and sanctuary here in the United States;

and

• regularly seeks accountability for U.S. government officials responsible for violating international and domestic law and human rights norms.
  

If you're going to give this holiday season, why not give Human Rights USA the recognition and resources it needs to continue its ongoing mission to secure justice for victims of human rights abuses?

Here's how it works:

• Round 1: From Nov. 15, 2009 to Dec. 11, 2009 (11:59pm EST), Facebook users can vote for any Charity that is part of the Chase Community Giving application. Chase will donate $25,000 to each of the 100 Charities receiving the most votes in Round 1.
• Round 2: From Jan. 15, 2010 to Jan. 22, 2010, participants may vote for the 100 Round 2 Charities. Chase will donate $1,000,000 to the Round 2 Charity receiving the most votes and will donate $100,000 to the five runners up.

(A full list of rules may be found at the Chase Community Giving fan page on Facebook.)

Vote for human Rights USA and then get friends and others on Facebook to do the same.

Voting is simple:

1. Sign up for a Facebook account if you don't already have one. Signing up is easy, and it's free!
2. Become a fan of Chase Community Giving on Facebook (required in order to vote).
3. Cast your vote for Human Rights USA by either clicking here or searching for "World Organization for Human Rights USA" on the Chase Giving page.
4. Post information about the contest to your wall, and invite your friends to vote!

That's it! No messy credit card transactions. No complicated forms to fill out. And all it took was a minute. Not a bad investment of your time, huh?

Voting for Round 1 ends on December 11, so hurry!
