Causes & Charities
Every day, major issues are covered in the local and national press. But where do you stand on the hot topics of the day?
- Do campaign contributions to Congress buy votes?
- Should the estate tax be abolished?
- Is the separation of church and state good for religion?
At Helium, we believe an informed citizenry is an opinionated one. Too often, though, differences of opinion aired on the Internet degenerate into name-calling and flame wars. We offer the web’s only structure for civilized discourse on divisive issues.
Helium has teamed up with political, social and nonprofit organizations to bring this civilized discourse to their issues. Our partners listed below represent a variety of causes and issues, but they are united in wanting to further a healthy exchange of opinion.
In addition, Helium has teamed up with a range of charity organizations in a unique way: Our writers who want to show support for the charities they love can choose to share their Helium earnings. While individual contributions might be small, the combined contributions of the Helium community can help make real differences in others’ lives.
