Support The Listening Ear

The Listening Ear is one of the oldest all-volunteer, non-profit crisis centers in the country.  While some of our funding comes from grants, we couldn't survive without the support of the community.  What follows are some ways you can help Ear continue to provide free crisis counseling, rape advocacy, community education, and much more.

	Network for Good is an online organization which allows you to quickly and easily donate to the non-profit of your choice.  The transaction takes place online, so you even save the cost of the stamp!
	GuideStar provides financial information about the Listening Ear, including tax returns and budget information.
	iGive.com allows you to donate money you would have spent anyway!  When you shop online through the iGive.com link, a portion of your purchases goes to the Listening Ear.  Shops include Barnes & Noble, eBay, Dell, and many more.  (You can sign up here.)
	With PayPal, you can donate to the Ear quickly and easily.  (PayPal is "an account-based system that lets anyone with an email address securely send and receive online payments using their credit card or bank account.")
	SAC maintains an online End Rape store at CafePress.  The Listening Ear makes no profit from the sale of these items.  However, by buying these products, you support SAC's mission of raising awareness about sexual assault.
	You can always mail your donation to The Listening Ear.  Click here to download a donation form.  (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).
	Finally, local author and former Ear Jim Hines has agreed to donate a portion of the profits from his novel Goldfish Dreams to the Listening Ear.  Click here for reviews and an excerpt, or order the book from Amazon.com.
