give ten

we thought we’d share our mission statement with you. it’s simple, really.

give ten: 10 percent of your time and profits to causes greater than yourself.

it’s a whisper to anyone who’s listening – starting with photographers around the globe. give ten. give it selflessly. give it joyfully. you *can* do it. not sure where to start? how about by giving something? the links on the right are just a few starting points. give with your camera. give with your wallet. it’s simple, gratifying and freeing.

once you start, you’ll never work the same way again. so, stop just doing business — and start giving business.

are you with us?

  • I am so excited. and wondered if I need to email or comment to sign up with you guys. I work closely with the march of dimes, nilmdts and another org of a well known doctor from here that is building a city in africa to help women and children silenced by war. so I am excited to go over there and give my time and talent to show what pregnant women, mommies and children go through and what I can do for them would love to help. I believe in paying it forward. it is my motto and I have so many blessings because of giving so much. blessings to you and deb..danielle fox

  • Thank you all so much! We’re so glad you want to participate in the project. it’s people like you who are going to make a difference –who are helping build this foundation for great things to come.

    We’re working on a “give ten project” badge that you can use on your web sites, but meanwhile, feel free to talk about the project (use the logo if you’d like) and share how you’re participating — on your web site, blog, FB etc. And send us a link! We can’t wait to see how you are giving ten!
