StartEngine is one of the largest equity crowdfunding platforms, letting everyday people invest in early-stage startups and growing companies, not just the wealthy or well-connected. Through regulated online offerings, you can put money into businesses you believe in and become an actual shareholder, often for a modest minimum. For founders, it opens the door to raising capital from their own customers and community rather than relying solely on venture firms. For investors, it is a chance to support innovation and share in the potential upside of companies at their earliest stages. As with all startup investing there is real risk, and money can be lost, so it suits those who invest thoughtfully. But for anyone who has wished they could back the kind of company they admire, StartEngine makes participation possible. Explore offerings at startengine.com.
Kindness has a beautiful way of multiplying. Share something thoughtful you recently did for another person, your community, animals, or the planet. Your story does not need to be grand, even the smallest act of kindness may inspire someone else to do good today.

Chances.org has been run by one volunteer, me, since 1999. Here's how you can help keep it going.

Hello, it's me, Amelia Carrie. I have been running and updating Chances.org since 1999, for free. I pay for the software, hosting, maintenance, apps, and more. That's more than 25 years of my life devoted to doing something I love.
However, the fact is that I am a senior now and due to having to compete with AI for computer graphics work, I can no longer afford to run this site on my own. I need your help, not only to keep it online, but to keep it growing. That's why I am updating Chances.org with a Donate button and a Supporters page.
If you can't afford either, you can still help for free by using the sharing buttons below. Thank you!
With gratitude,
Amelia Carrie
For investors and dreamers: If you are an investor with the means to help Chances.org grow as big as Change.org or GoFundMe, please write to me at ChancesCharity@Gmail.com.
And if you have great plans and ambition, I may even let you take this site over, because everybody deserves a chance.
You can't have change without chances!
♥️ Support Chances.org
