Pick Burning Man as a charity on your amazon.com account ... why not .... costs nothing to you:

This is the quarterly notification to inform you that AmazonSmile has made a charitable donation to the charity you’ve selected, Burning Man Project, in the amount of $1,139.39 as a result of qualifying purchases made by you and other customers between April 1st - June 30th

When I use Amazon Smile, I have them send the pittance they donate to my regional, not the big burn.

if the ORG can't manage the money, large money, they get, I'm not going to send a pittance to them, that could otherwise perhaps do more good elsewhere.

No thank you, I choose to donate to my local nonprofits. Such as dog/animal rescue (big surprise :D )
Oh my god, it's HUGE!

No thank you.

All the BMORG has proven to me is they have their own self-interests as primary priority forsaking all the burners who have supported this event for many, many years.

They are not a charity. The only good they do is for themselves. I'll continue giving to the charities I do, which actually make an effort to help others.
I would like to treat my gas pedal as a binary operator and get the cooperation of everyone in front of me!

The last entry for The Burning Man Project charitable operations on the main website cites goals for 2014. They sell every ticket they offer, and the culture they propose for world gain is breaking down at the event itself. I believe in the axiom, “You can’t transmit something you haven’t got.”
