Kiva loans update, Give Til it Hurts #3

 

As many of you will recall, our last Give Til it Hurts fundraiser was in benefit of Kiva’s microloan program. At the time, we raised $1450 for step-up loans to folks in impoverished countries and had a lot of fun in the process.

To see the original GTIH posting, click HERE.

 

The contest ended around mid-September last year, and I was proud of the money we raised in such a short amount of time. Nobody was beholden to doing more, and none of you would’ve known if they hadn’t.

But they did.

The current tally for donations to the Friends of Dana Kane Kiva group is $2125. That means that the people who originally participated in the fundraiser have CONTINUED to re-loan their original donations, again and again, to the tune of an additional 675 dollars!

For those of you who’re mentioned above – thank you so much for keeping up the good work, you all rock. Really hard.

 

–  Dana

 

PS. We’ll be doing it again soon…keep your wallets handy, ’cause I’m going to spring the furbabies on you again.

Final tally for Give Til it Hurts #3 – Kiva

 

WOW!

You guys and gals turned up the volume in a BIG way for the Give Til it Hurts Kiva fundraiser!

Are you ready for this?…

As a group, the Kiva lending team Friends of Dana Kane” has contributed $ 1400.00. Isn’t that fantastic?!

With a total of  21  loans, we managed to do a lot of really great good in Mexico, Philippines, Rwanda, Pakistan, Samoa, Nigeria, Ukraine, Bolivia, Myanmar, Peru, Sierra Leone, Togo, Mali, and Tajikistan. Contributors helped fund loans for individuals and small businesses in agriculture, livestock, food sales and preparation, goods sales, higher education, and even clean/green initiatives.

To those who participated, I am completely mind-blown at your generosity and willingness to help. You’ve all proven again just how much people really do care about one another, and I couldn’t be prouder to be among you.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

 

***

I’ll be making arrangements for limited edition Give Til it Hurts paddle delivery with those of you who have contributed, so if you haven’t already please email me your details. I’m producing a video especially for contributors, as well, which will be delivered electronically in the upcoming week.

***

(If you’re counting, that’s over THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS we’ve managed to donate/contribute via the first three GTIH fundraisers! Imagine what we can do next, and next, and next…)

 

 

Fundraiser Paddle Update

 

** For those of you who’ve already contributed, you MUST email me your info so I can get you your paddle and video! **

 

We’ve already contributed $600 to the Kiva fundraiser – and there’s still time to get in on the video and limited edition paddle prize – just take a look at the fundraiser post HERE and join ‘Friends of Dana Kane’ on Kiva. Simple!

Give Til it Hurts #3 : Kiva, Free Videos, and Limited Edition Paddles!

 

Readers,

(Don’t despair; once you get past all the details, there’s Free Stuff!!)

After the first two very successful ‘Give Til it Hurts’ fundraisers, both for animal charities, a few of my friends and playmates suggested that we put our considerable resources toward something a bit different from time to time. While we all love the critters endlessly, we can also acknowledge that there are a bazillion places where our dough can do great things – let’s take a look at another great way to help the world around us, while not really even spending any money at all.

 

CLICK HERE TO JOIN ‘FRIENDS OF DANA KANE’ ON KIVA

Kiva is a micro-lending organization providing loans to needy folks, mostly in developing countries. Millions of dollars in small loans have been facilitated through Kiva in the last decade, and the repayment rate is 99% – meaning that nearly every single cent loaned is repayed, thereby making the loan almost zero risk for those of us who contribute. The funds contributed/loaned through the Kiva website are distributed to people who will use those funds to improve their living situations, via small business endeavors like handcrafts, continued education, and agriculture. The borrowers – who are, by nature of their demographics, locked out of the international monetary system – then pay back their loans (plus interest in many cases, which is unavoidable, so let’s get past it), the lenders are reimbursed via Kiva, and the lender is then able to re-lend their funds or simply withdraw the money back out.

____________________

Since Kiva was founded in 2005:

  • 1,209,291 individuals have signed up as Kiva lenders
  • $590,735,025 has been loaned to people in need
  • 98.87% of all Kiva loans are repaid

They work with:

  • 270 Field Partners (institutions who make the original loans to borrowers)
  • 450 volunteers around the world work with even the most remote borrowers, insuring that the funds are distributed and loans repaid
  • 77 different countries benefit from Kiva loan programs

____________________

This is an excellent option for those of us who like to regularly contribute as well as those who’re interested in helping but can’t commit to giving away chunks of money. Since it’s a loan and not a donation, you’re simply putting that money away in a safe place for a little while, rather than giving it away entirely. You’ll get it back.

Please take a few minutes to peruse the Kiva website, and do your own research on micro-lending so that you understand the gist of things if you want – it’s important to me that anyone considering participating in this ‘Give Til it Hurts’ fundraising endeavor ‘gets it’. The borrowers you’ll see on the site – most of whom reside in third world, rural, inaccessible areas without commerce or industry or employment opportunity – are working hard to improve their lives and the lives of their families and communities. Kiva loans give many of them the hand up that they need. I think this is an excellent way for us to help, and I hope you’ll agree.

* You don’t have to publicly display or share any of your personal information on the Kiva website or Friends of Dana Kane group profile. While you’ll make your contribution via the usual methods, your Kiva profile is set up just like any other, meaning that you may choose how much of your information is visible to other users (don’t forget to email and let me know ‘who’ you are, so you can get your video and paddle!), and keep all your personal information completely private. *

YOU CHOOSE EXACTLY WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES, SELECTING AN INDIVIDUAL (OR SEVERAL!) BORROWER TO RECEIVE YOUR CONTRIBUTION.

So what’s in it for you? Well, the joy and happiness and rush of doing something good, of course. But you know how much I love giving stuff away, and this time will be no exception.

 

PRIZE #1

Everyone who contributes to the ‘Friends of Dana Kane’ group on Kiva will receive a free specially-filmed spanking video download. I’ll corral one of my cute girl spankees into putting her bottom on the line in the name of charity, and you’ll get the benefit of watching!

Even if you’re only able to contribute 25bucks, you’ll get the free video, that I’ll make especially for the fundraiser using the limited edition Give Til it Hurts paddle:

The silhouette Dana Kane artwork, depicting me sitting in a traditional, high-back chair – hairbrush at the ready, was done beautifully by the talented and generous Red Rump, and is displayed on one of Cane-iac’s sturdy wood paddles. This 1/2″ thick OTK-size thumper is the perfect paddle for smacking a squirming, protesting brat until they learn the meaning of Behave.

 

PRIZE #2

dana kane spanks

 

The first thirty participants who contribute $40 or more to the ‘Friends of Dana Kane’ group will receive (in addition to the video) one of these limited edition paddles, shipped free of course or, even better, handed over in person following thorough usage.

Once these paddles are gone, they’re gone. Cane-iac’s been kind enough to provide us with just enough to hold this fundraiser, and a couple extra for me to keep and use..there won’t be more, and they’ll never be for sale. (If something happens and we don’t give them all away during this fundraiser, the remainder will be kept as incentive for future Give Til it Hurts endeavors.)

 

So let’s all get together and show the world what a bunch of spanko-kinksters can do when we put our minds (and debit cards) to the task!

 

** We’ll run this fundraiser from today (August 4) through September 15, 2014. Six weeks to do as much Good as we can manage. **

P.S.  My sincerest thanks to Red Rump for lending his talented hand (I’ll have more from him in a future animal charity drive, and you’ll LOVE it!), and to my great good friends at Cane-iac for donating and customizing the paddles. I’m reminded again and again how many wonderful people I’ve been privileged to know, all because I’m into this spanking thing.~~~

Give til it Hurts Raffle #2 : DanaKaneSpanks.com 1 Year Membership WINNER!

 

Everyone,

We’ve had another wildly successful fundraising event in the Give Til it Hurts Raffle #2, raising $845 for animal charities!

And since it’s so much fun to give things away (as our generous donors have again proven), here’s the video showing who’s won the 1 year membership to DanaKaneSpanks.com, and the runner up winner of a 30 day membership:

 

 

Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone who participated. Below, all donor pseudonyms and their contributions:

 

Dana’s World Record Holder  –  $50

Lab Saver  –  $25

Naughty Tom  –  $25

Arapahoe  –  $25

GreenEyes  –  $300

Rigel  –  $25

Kalman  –  $100

Arrogant Brat  –  $50

NJSpank  –  $150

Oldog  –  $25

Randy Lee  –  $20

Danielle  –  $50

 

And here’s the payoff – all the wonderful animal heroes you’ve helped by participating, and, most importantly, the sweet little animals who’ve benefitted so much from your generosity:

 

City Critters  –  $100

City Critters rescues, rehabilitates, and re-homes cats and dogs in and around New York City. The city’s animal control, collectively called NYC ACC, is one of the country’s most notorious kill-mills, especially cats and pit bull breed dogs. City Critters saved the lives of over 200 cats (and a number of dogs) in 2013, providing everything from medical care, transportation, and shelter rescue, to TNR funding for local groups. Good people working hard in the most populace place in the country.

 

Becky’s Hope  –  $50

We’re revisiting Becky’s Hope, a Texas-based rescue for abused and neglected horses. Becky’s Hope is a small, self-funded horse sanctuary that takes on animals who, without them, wouldn’t have much hope at all. They’re always in need of hay for these big sweeties, so we’ll likely make sure that a little goes to them every time we fundraise.

 

Noah’s Ark Rescue  –  $200

afd8bad28472ef00a8a4314e1ca5941395760674

Dogs who are sick, injured, and abused rarely stand a chance for the expensive medical care they require. And then there’s Noah’s Ark…These folks work tirelessly to provide life-saving medical care to dogs who’d otherwise have no chance at life. Not only does Noah’s Ark provide the funds, but they ferry the dogs to and from multi-state specialists, network to rehome them, and need donations to continue this work more than you can imagine. There isn’t a better definition of selfless than what these folks are doing, every day.

 

C5 (Community Cat Coalition of Clark County) –  $100

The C5 kitty cam – one feral colony’s minder has set up a 24/7 stream of her wards.

C5 is an all-volunteer group in Clark County, Nevada, working to save, spay, and care for the more than 200thousand feral cats in and around Las Vegas. They’re one of my chosen local charities and doing great and important work for the kitties here.

 

Angel City Pit Bulls  –  $145

Almost all cities are pitbull-unfriendly nowadays, although for decades they were considered one of the best, smartest, and most gentle breeds for children (do your homework). Los Angeles is an especially tough place to be a pitbull – or any dog even remotely resembling one – and Angel City does their damndest to save them. Pulling ‘bully’ breeds directly from local L.A. shelters, fostering and rehoming them, and advocating for the breed and public common sense when it comes to these misunderstood and maligned sweeties. I LOVE bullys, and have owned three…every single one of them sweeter and more cuddly than the next.

 

Crash’s Landing  –  $250

260 cats. Crash’s Landing is a nokill cat rescue in Grand Rapids, Michigan, focused specifically on saving, rehabilitating, and giving homes to at-risk stray cats – and they home 260 of the little furballs. With a monthly cost of nearly 15thousand dollars, caring for sick, injured, and terminally ill cats is an expensive but oh-so-terribly loving endeavor. The people who staff and fund places like Crash’s Landing deserve all the help we can give them.

 Please take a few minutes to take a look at all these great groups yourself, and maybe even click on that ‘Donate’ button.

 

**Disclaimer: By sharing names of organizations in receipt of funds donated, neither I nor Dana Kane Films assumes or implies association with any of the above named groups. (This simply because not everyone wants to be publicly associated with someone who does naughty things during daylight hours, and we understand that completely.)

**In the name of clarity, documentation of all monies distributed is available upon request.

**As payment processors charge a hefty percentage of every transaction (yes, ridiculously, even for charitable donations), I’ve decided to start mailing in donations by check rather than allowing Paypal to hedge our hard-earned five percent. Take THAT.

 

 It’s impossible to say often enough how grateful I am for our donor’s participation in the Give Til it Hurts fundraisers – it’s endlessly heartwarming and reassuring to be reminded of all the Really Wonderful People with whom I share this planet. You’re all, quite pointedly, freakin’ awesome.

I’ll be back in summer with another fun and decidedly spanko way to help the critters while participating in something that may net you something relatively exclusive..

Below, a fun plea from one of our participants in the first Raffle, ‘Angel’s Guardian Angel’ : 

 

“We have all watched PBS at some point in our lives, and I don’t mean Sesame Street. An adult program that you would want to record for your video library, added to “burned” DVDs with the FBI warnings. These PBS programs are so exemplary that they have commercial breaks (which require a computer program with editing capabilities) on a network that advertises it is commercial-free. The best of PBS occurs during “pledge week” … which is a few weeks every year.

“Ms. Kane has something similar. She, however, does not guilt-trip you. But I will. I am AGA, the one who ironically added to Angel’s sentence with 360 more strokes. You know, Angel with the deer-in-the headlights expression. Angel should wear a T-shirt emblazoned with the word “scapegoat”. Poor thing. I could accuse anyone who contributed to Ms. Kane’s cause of animal rights as an accessory to a crime, but, hell, I want that video too. Probably the reason why I suggested a $1000 cap so I now have a 1-3 chance of winning it.

“Not that I want to see Angel in pain. I guiltily watch Ms. Kane videos on her website to study Ms. Kane. The consummate female sadist. Every male fantasy. Like the regal Evil Queen in Disney’s Snow White. Love her! … Ms. Kane, that is!

“But I digress. My plea to you to contribute to Ms. Kane’s fundraisers in the future. Even though it seems hypocritical that Ms. Kane supports animal rights while she mercilessly beats alleged transgressors, we all enjoy taking “pleasure” in watching her … doing it, of course. But really, viewers, you can’t expect to appreciate Ms. Kane’s body … of work, that is … without contributing to the valuable cause which she is advocating. Let’s have these “critters” given the treatment they deserve because they elicit joy whenever we connect with them … as long as the leash to what they are attached is in other’s hand or as long as litter boxes their are cleaned by their owners. Personally, I wiggle and smile when a strange dog tries to kiss me. I’m not sure if Rover really likes me or is in the tongue-cleaning process.

“In short, I stand behind Ms. Kane … probably trying to real the label from her designer jeans … and any cause that she supports.”

In total, we raised $1000 for animals in need! I’m terribly impressed and forever in the debt of every one of you.

Donations from this raffle have supported several organizations and animals. Below, a list of recipients from the Give Til it Hurts Raffle #1:

 

Raven Woods Animal Sanctuary : $400

Raven Woods is a no-kill animal shelter (mostly dogs with a few cats) in rural Roseland, Louisiana. Caring for approximately 200 rescued animals and operating strictly on personal income and donations, the folks at RavenWoodsRescue.org can use our help year ’round.

Raven Woods – Minnie Mouse

 

Guardians of Rescue : $200

This donation was made to Guardians of Rescue for a specific case : the dogs of Olympic Animal Sanctuary. Kept in terrible squalor, these 124 dogs have been saved and are in the process of being rehabilitated by the good people at GoR and the folks who run the RUFFF facility in Arizona. RUFFF itself, in a very rural area along the NV/AZ border, houses around 300 rescued animals year round.

GoR and RUFFF : The Olympic dogs

 

Rescue Ranch : $100

The Rescue Ranch serves as a low-cost/free spay and neuter organization to approximately 1/3 of the state of Georgia – most of these counties don’t even have animal services divisions. RR is responsible for thousands of spay/neuter and TNR’s annually.

 

 Blind Cat Rescue : $100

The name says it all. Homed in North Carolina, Blind Cat Rescue shelter is a haven for sightless kitties and those with feline fiv/hiv who would have otherwise been euthanized. A beautiful organization and a bunch of gorgeous cats.

BCR - Chester the wonder kitten

Community Cat Coalition of Clark County : $100

The ‘C5’ is an all-volunteer organization tackling the problems of over 200,000 feral cats in Clark County, Nevada. With spay/neuter, TNR, feral colony support, and numerous other humane outreach programs, C5 is up against a herculean task and working hard.

 

Fund A Pet Miracle : $50

FundAPetMiracle.com is a site dedicated to raising funds for individual animals’ needs. We contributed fifty dollars to Blue’s medical bills. Blue the Pitbull has had a tough life, but the folks at Animal Aid for Vermilion Area Rescue are making sure he gets the best care and a great future…

Beautiful Blue

Becky’s Hope : $50 

Becky’s Hope Horse Rescue in Texas rescues and rehabilitates abused and neglected horses. Expenses for this type of large animal rescue run very high, and we’ll be revisiting this organization in future fundraisers.

** NOTE : Neither I nor Dana Kane Films are in any way affiliated with any particular rescue group or organization. By donating to their causes, we neither request nor expect their endorsement. The publishing of names of organizations in receipt of donated funds is done only in the name of full disclosure.

** All donation receipts are available for viewing by anyone who requests them. There will never be any question as to whether every cent donated has gone to deserving charities.

** There are payment processing fees associated with both receiving donations as well as turning those around and giving them to the appropriate orgs. This usually amounts to about ten percent of total donation amount. I cover these fees personally, so that the full amount donated goes into the hands of the charities.

 

Give til it Hurts Raffle drawing coming soon!

 

Angel will arrive end of this month, and while she’s here we’ll video both the raffle drawing and the exclusive 1000 stroke video.

The winner will have the option to either retain the video solely for him or herself, or to allow distribution in which all proceeds will also go to animal charities.

We’re getting very excited about the drawing and have our fingers tightly crossed for everyone who donated. While only one can win the prize, every single participant made a difference through their actions.

Also very exciting will be the announcement of all the worthy animal heroes who’ve received our fundraising donations….$1000 in all! You’ll love reading about these wonderful organizations and all the great work they’re doing, every day, to improve the welfare of animals in need.

Thanks again, so much, to you all.

Current Fundraising Total : $640

That’s six hundred and forty swats to Angel thus far, and I’m hoping to see a number that makes us BOTH nervous by the time we’re done at the end of January.

Nearly halfway through our first Give Til it Hurts charity raffle, and I am genuinely touched (and somewhat blown away) by the generosity of spirit so many have already shown.

I want each and every person who’s participated in any way to understand that you’ve had a direct impact on the well-being of your fellow inhabitants of this planet, and that’s something about which you should be very proud.

 

At raffle’s end, I’ll be posting a list of donor’s pseudonyms, sharers, and organizations in receipt of donations.

Readers,

My friends and many regular blog visitors know that I’m crazy for critters. Like many of you, I share my home with cherished pets and am grateful for everything they add to my life.

In an attempt to help the wider pet population, I’m going to begin holding regular fundraisers here on the blog. We’ll always play a game, have a prize, or in some other way make it fun – but the main goal is to help animals in need, and every penny raised will go to worthy rescue, spay/neuter, and emergency medical and housing, across the U.S. and internationally. I’ll post publicly the amounts raised and donated, always keeping your individual donations private. If you have a favorite animal charity you’d like to add to the list of recipients, or have any other questions, feel free to email me directly at danakanespanks@gmail.com.

Now…let’s roll out Give til it Hurts with:

 

 

Implement and Custom Video Raffle #1

 

Each raffle ticket you purchase entitles you to one chance at the prize. 1 ticket = 1 chance; Five tickets = five chances; 10 tickets = 10 chances; etc.

Raffle Tickets are only $5 each!

 

You’ll be vying for the chance to win a dual prize :

A set of impressive spanking implements donated by our friends at Caneiac,      and a custom video featuring Angel….

IMG_20130829_122527

TAKING A SWAT FOR EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR RAISED

CaneiacRaffle1

Includes : White Delrin Loop OTK, Black Delrin 3 Strand, Black Delrin Cane SR, Black Delrin Cane JR, Black Delrin Ever Ready, Gatorskin OTK Rubber Paddle.

* To keep things visible and ethical, I’ll find some way to videotape the raffle drawing, so that everyone knows that they have an equal chance to win.

** Raffle #1 will end Friday, January 31, 2014.

To buy raffle tickets, simply email me and tell me how many you’d like. I’ll send you a Paypal invoice which may be paid with a credit/debit card (no Paypal account necessary).

DanaKaneSpanks@gmail.com

______________________________________________

This should be a whole lot of fun, and it’s an excellent way to both help AND play without having to spend a whole bunch of your hard-earned money. 

Naturally, winners will need to be able to receive packages, and will have to provide a physical mailing address in order to receive the implements (video may be delivered either electronically or on DVD).

** I will give the winner of the raffle the option of sharing the Exclusive Video of Angel’s swat count. If he or she allows it, the video will be available to everyone, with all sales donated.

Help spread the word!

Many of you use social networking tools such as Twitter, Facebook, Fetlife, and the like; some of you have blogs or websites of your own –

Please take a minute to crosspost or mention our efforts on behalf of those furry little voiceless critters we all love so much.

My sincerest thanks,

  –  Dana

PS. I am also looking for a ‘matcher’ for this raffle. The matcher would agree in advance to match whatever funds are raised during this event, and donate that amount to his or her local animal shelter or rescue. Please contact me directly to discuss.
