To commemorate Michael's birthday on August 29th, fans from all around the world are making a donation to a charity in honour of Michael. Fans nominate their favourite charities and of these, three finalists will be chosen. Everyone then takes a vote and donate to the charity with the most votes.

Nominate a Charity

Hey everyone! Ready to get going for Michael's birthday this year? We will be donating from August 15th to August 29th, 2012.

Do you have a charity that you would like to nominate? Is there a charity that you think Michael would be happy for his fans to support? Please let us know!

Criteria for charities:

• It must be a cause that Michael was passionate about. (See a list of charities that Michael supported.)
• The charity should benefit people around the world. If not the whole world, then one very poor country.
• The charity must be registered as a non-profit organisation with the government of the country where it is based.
• The charity is not too large (rich) so that our contributions will make a difference.
• They are able to accept online donations from all over the world.

The charities that Michael supported are mainly in the following categories, so please suggest charities from these areas:

• Orphanages
• Environmental causes
• Medical - hospital/research/sick children
• Education
• Humanitarian causes - feeding the hungry, natural disasters.

Please send us your suggestions by August 12, 2012. You can leave a comment below or contact us here.

I would like to nominate Feed My Starving Children, a non profit group founded in 1987 that serves 70 countries. It is 100% donor funded. Each meal costs 22 cents to produce and for each dollar donated 92 cents goes directly to the program. Please check out their website https://www.fmsc.org for all the information on this wonderful charity. You may also check them out on the Charity Navigator site.
Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks, Pat. We already have a nomination for a very similar charity, so we will keep this one for next year.
