The CLAWZ Page for Optional Web Donations

(Information is available for other donation sites of interest, which do not give you extra credit, at the  non-clawz page.)

REGISTER AT EACH SITE, except for the Hunger Site !

It is essential that you  follow ALL of the instructions below for each site, and REGISTER at each site, or the site and the clawz team leader will not recognize you as part of the clawz team, and you won't get your extra credit points. If this is your first visit to a site, or if you have not yet registered at the site, follow the registration instructions below, and do it now!   It is best to register, before you log in, on your first visit to each site. It is possible to log in without REGISTERING, so be careful!

Be aware that these site change their format from time to time. If you find that these instructions need updating, please let Dr. Muzos know. Thanks!

The clawz sites for optional extra credit include:

  Care2 sites      EcologyFund   Red Jellyfish   The Hunger Site

Read about each site, and make your own choices concerning whether or not you want to support the cause. The sites are chosen because they have anti-spam policies and they keep track of your visits.

You may want to print this page of instructions.

DONATING TO Care2 SITES

REGISTERING for the Care2 sites

1)  Go to the sites by clicking on the link below.

Contribute to Care2.com Sites 

top
2)  Follow the link above.  Look in the upper right corner. If you have not done so before, click on the "Sign in" link and follow the instructions --- sometimes this link is in other spots on the page, so look around for it! You only need to do this once, and it should work for all of the Care2 sites. Make up your own username and password. Be sure to write down your username and password to remember them for your next donation! If you are not sure if you have done this, you can always do it again.

  HELPFUL HINT!!!
These sites may have an option which says "Remember Me". If you generally use the same computer to make your donations, and if you have already checked  that box, you won't have to log in and supply a password each time you visit the site. This saves you time! You may do this from more than one computer (work, home) but use the same username and password for each computer.

3)  The next time you visit you will have to do all of this again using the same username and password, but if you clicked "Remember Me" (see helpful hint above) you will, instead, see a message in the upper left corner of the second page that says "Welcome Back <your username>!" because it recognizes your computer and automatically credits your account. What a deal!

4)  Each time you click a page to donate you will be taken to a page which says 'Thank You,' or something to that effect. If you scroll down that page you can see your total donations for that site.

5) Check your settings at each site to avoid unwanted email from the site. This is at "My Settings," "Panda Reminders," or "Climbing Reminders."

Credit for the Hunger Site sites

For all of the Hunger Site sites, you will get credit for only the ONE site to which you make the most donations, according to the following scale.  At each site you will receive one half  point of extra credit each day that you donate.
Participating in anything other than the free donations does not count for credit.

SUBMITTING YOUR POINTS TO DR. MUZOS for The Hunger Site sites

The Hunger Site web donations page has stopped keeping track of individual donations.

In order to get credit, each time that you donate  you will have to print the page that comes up after you donate, where it tells how much your click donated. When you have all of your points, just send me all of the pages. This is a lot of paper, so please do this for just ONE of the Hunger Site causes, even though you may donate to any and all of them if you so choose.
