Earlier in the week I called Lisa to talk about the empty ad space on our blogs we have staring us in the face when we have blown through our ads. I mentioned to her that in the spirit of BlogHer maybe we should take on a cause and use that empty space as a way to help others. To put up an ad for a Non-Profit Organization that would reach out and help others. I was thrilled to hear that Alanna Kellogg had mentioned the same idea to Lisa.

I was so excited to hear the enthusiasm of all of you on the phone calls today about this opportunity to reach out to the community, especially in this time between now and January 1st. Since I'm the one who opened my mouth, I now get the job of helping make this happen. We need to act quickly to pick two or three deserving organizations who can help make the world a better place.

We're proud of the blogs in BlogHer's advertising network, and of their commitment to quality.

All blogs affiliated with BlogHer's ad network have signed editorial standards that commit to appropriateness of content, category relevance, blog frequency, and adherence to editorial standards, which read as follows:

What an amazing response to our call for non-profit groups that BlogHerAds can support! You ladies amaze me with your generosity. We have several organizations that were suggested. (I have them listed below.)

If you have any additions, it is not too late to add your non-profit group of choice. The deadline for making a suggestion is tonight, Thursday, Nov. 16 at 5:00pm PST/7:00pm CST/8:00pmEST.

Here is the list of non-profit groups suggested so far:
