Woo hoo! Time for our annual Heifer International blog fundraising goodness where we spread the cheer for an incredibly worthy cause and try to multiple the giving.
All you have to do to enter is to leave a comment on this post OR tweet a link to this post (https://bit.ly/V78KCz) and include the hashtag #NBHeifer to help raise money for a great cause. Then click over to the other participating blogs at the bottom of this post and do the same thing.
And, better yet, to multiply the giving, if you want in on the fun you can do a per-comment pledge on your own blog! It can be any amount, from ten cents to a million dollars. Totally up to you. Just leave a comment with a link to your blog post or tweet announcing your pledge or e-mail it to me and I’ll feature it in this post. (Let me know if you need help tracking your hashtag).
You may have already heard of Heifer International, an organization that works to fight hunger by giving needy families around the world and in the United States livestock, training, or other assistance that helps improve their livelihood. Heifer has been recognized for its work in Fast Company and Forbes, among other places.
If you have anything to spare this holiday season I hope you’ll consider making a donation.
And in order to encourage people to spread the word about this worthy cause, there are two ways to help increase the giving love (and feel free to do both):
- For every comment someone makes in this post between now and 6PM Pacific time on December 24, I will donate $2.00.
- For every tweet that includes a) the hashtag #NBHeifer and b) a link back to this post (https://bit.ly/V78KCz) I will donate another $2.00. (up to $2,000 between the two)
We can encourage everyone to stop by so we can multiply the giving! Over the past three years we raised over $5,000 together.

Thanks Nathan. Great fundraiser. I bought goats one year in the name of all my relatives instead of giving them presents.
Happy Holidays!!
Heifer International is one of my favorite causes! Thanks so much for doing this, Nathan!
Hey Nathan, thanks so much for hosting this! What a worthy cause. 🙂
Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!
I love this! So glad you are doing this. I feel that ripple of kindness starting to spread already. Happy Holidays!
Good cause, Nathan. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to participate.
Was debating where to donate this this year in honor of my neighbors. I'm thinking of Heifer…thanks for the reminder of this charity.
I've just found you through a blogging friend. What an amazing idea! Best of luck reaching your goal!
Thank you for your amazing spirit and generosity!
You're a blessing to the blogging community and to the spirit of giving everywhere! Thank you for all your efforts once again and I hope you have a wonderful, much deserved holiday!
Heifer international is one of my favorite charities. It's one that makes a big and lasting difference.
Yay, Thanks for doing this for such a great cause! Maybe you'll have enough comments to buy a pig 🙂
I like charities which make a long-term (as opposed to a quick-fix) difference, and Heifer is one of them. Good choice, Nathan.
I finally got around to a blog post, so anyone can visit. I am pledging $2 per comment to Heifer as well. Here's the link: https://dailyadventuresgretch.blogspot.com/2012/12/holiday-giving.html
Thanks again for the fundraising effort, Nathan!
It's amazing when you read the statistics on how much of a difference even some chickens can make to a family's quality of life. Thanks for doing this!
Thanks, Nathan! If you're ever in Arkansas, take time visit Heifer's headquarters–it's worth the visit.
I love Heifer and give to them regularly. Go Nathan and Co.!!!
Awesome. What a great idea. 🙂
Merry Christmas!
You are wonderfully generous! Blessings to you this Christmas!
Happy Holidays!!
You're awesome! Merry Christmas 🙂
Thank you for donating to such a good cause, Nathan!
Happy holidays to you and yours. Thank you for making the season brighter for those who are in need!
All I want for Christmas is that faith, love and peace be victorious over their opposites, and happiness becomes our reality for evermore.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks for doing this again, and Merry Christmas!
Goats and chickens are the best! Yay! 🙂
Happy holidays! I love that you do this every year!
