Joan Smalls and DonateMyWage.org Add Support of More Organizations
One year since its founding, DonateMyWage.org and founder Joan Smalls have added nine new organizations to the donation-focused site that will join DonateMyWage.org’s original organizations.
Potential donors can calculate their donation amount based on their pay and are able to send funding directly to the organization or organizations of their choosing.
“The fight for equality didn’t end in 2020,” said Smalls, the model and activist. “As we continue even further into 2021, there is still a lot of work to be done to bring about inclusivity and education in all areas. We are committed to continuing our support of organizations that are making a difference in underserved communities. The organizations we chose to add to DonateMyWage.org are focused on key areas like education, voting, health, accountability, women and children and more. We celebrate one year by continuing to walk the walk, not just talk the talk because we’re stronger together and the fight for justice and inclusion isn’t over.”
DonateMyWage.org is continuing its efforts to support the Black Lives Matter movement, as well as those that aid in the well-being of Black communities.
The added organizations in 2021 are Black Girls Smile, Black Trans Advocacy Coalition, Black Voters Matter, Black Women for Wellness, Black Women’s Health Imperative, GYRL WONDER, Integrate NYC, National Police Accountability Project and Woke Vote. The founding organizations remaining on the site are Black Women’s Blueprint, Black Visions Collective, BLD PWR, Color of Change, Equal Justice Initiative, Gideon’s Army, Innocence Project, Know Your Rights Camp, The Marshall Project, Until Freedom and United Negro College Fund. DonateMyWage.com will continue to add new organizations that best support the evolving needs within the Black community.
In June 2020, Smalls pledged 50 percent of her earnings for the remainder of the year to Black Lives Matter organizations. From this, DonateMyWage.org was born to help others within all industries donate portions of their wages to organizations of their choosing.
