Hey guys, the Charley Project is asking you for something: three dollars.
For three dollars a month, less than the price of a McDonald’s milkshake, you can help maintain one of the largest, most detailed missing persons databases online, a major tool for getting the information out there about cold cases.
If everyone who viewed the Charley Project on a daily basis donated just three dollars each month, that would be enough that the administrator could keep it as a full-time job and not have to cut back on missing persons work.
In exchange, this important tool can still be used by hundreds of thousands of people around the world, including law enforcement, journalists, podcasters, missing persons’ families, bloggers, amateur sleuths, and more.
If you can only afford to give two dollars or one dollar, that’s fine. If you can give more, terrific—any amount is appreciated.
You can use PayPal to donate to administrator@charleyproject.org. If you go to any Charley Project casefile, the PayPal button is at the top. Type in the amount, check the box that says “make this a monthly donation” and follow the steps.
It’s very easy and very, very much appreciated.
Your donate link does not really works, I click the link, I was directed to a page displaying a simple message “Your donation was already completed.”
Fixed it.
Meaghan,with you getting all of these donations won’t hurt your social security benefits will it? But, come to think of it, this is better since you are now evidently able to work full time with all of this money paying you a great wage you will become a free working woman. And that will be so much better than being stuck on the government dole. I was just worried about you losing your benefits but now I am not sinse I thought it throo.
I’m not receiving any benefits.
Must agree, having trouble with the link.
Not to mention is there any other way I can donate beside paypal?
Nevermind, figured it all out. Sorry about that. Just ignore my comment 😂 lol
Has anyone checked out if this is a leg I ate site and have you researched that these funds you are sending are indeed going into this project. I would suggest you check it out or ask Meaghan for documented proof of legitimacy. My brother in law, an attorney suggested this. I smell a rat something is fishy.
This is definitely legit. Everything goes to the Charley Project. Here’s a documentary short about it/me: https://youtu.be/m4yjI3dRAgQ Here’s a magazine article: https://longreads.com/2018/01/11/the-encylopedia-of-the-missing/
Thanks for asking; and Meaghan for responding with links!
Just sent you $3, you will get my $3 every month Megahan
Thank you so much!
Who does this money go to and what is being done with this Money???
It pays for my website expenses (internet, subscriptions for my research, cost for web hosting etc), and my rent and gas etc so I can keep doing this full time.
Exactly;
Who are you talking about?
I set up $5 monthly
Thank you so much!
Also donated. Thank you so much for everything you do.
Thank you so much!
What about setting up a Patreon for more exposure and aggregating supporters?
Yeah, it’s on my list. The problem is I’m not sure what to offer for rewards.
Just spitballing here – access to your list of “to add” cases and ability to request ones be moved higher on the list, ability to request (quicker) updates for one case a month or something. Ability to request themes of the month, ability to choose the featured cases.. I’m drawing a blank after that.
Thank you so much for all that you do Meaghan!
Doesn’t seem to be working now. I’m getting an error message.
Strange. I tried with both my computer and my phone, on Chrome and Safari, and it’s working for me. It does give a “prove you’re not a robot” thing though.
Done. It makes me happy to be able to help in some way. You do amazing work!
Thanks so much!
I want to contribute but I don’t have Paypal. Is there another way? Kind regards, George
Could you email me at administrator@charleyproject.org ?
Absolutely Meaghan, happy to help you out, you do an amazing job!
Thanks so much!
There is a photo of drawing of my brother, Vernon Kenneth Nash Jr. Who was lost at sea on Jan 1985, that picture looks nothing like my brother at all!!!!!
Done! I can’t add anything that hasn’t already been said. Stay strong, girl!
Thanks so much!
Done! Thank you giving so much of yourself. You are an amazing person!
Thank you so much!
i set up a monthly donation of 5 dollars — thank you so much for doing what you do!
Thanks!
I set up my recurring donation! How’s the progress going with it?
I’m making more money than I did in my previous job at Walmart.
That’s awesome, although I’m not surprised. I worked at Walmart for a short time in high school and it was awful.
It is indeed terrible. I worked full time and sometimes brought home just $150 a week.
Thanks for your donation!
Thank you for all you do, I have an old high school friend that is on your website. You are very appreciated, I donated.
Thank you so much!
I am Raymond Keneth Drown’s sister Rose..Do y o u have any idea where he is.I was thinking he may be in an institution overmedicated and unavailable to family because an adult.Do you have a phone contact.I am doritorose@gmail.com.
Sending you money monthly. Thanks much
Thank you!
I have set up a $3 monthly donation. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks!
I set up a monthly payment but I can’t get in from different devices (like my phone) as the new device doesn’t know I am submitting 3 dollars already…
This is Charley kid thanks you all for helping me try and find my mom I appreciate you all
Thank you for everything you do for the missing people and their families, I set up a monthy donation of 10 dollars
Thank you for everything you do for all these families. I just donated 20.00.
just curious, is every donation automatically a recurring monthly donation? (i would like to help out, but not sure if i could do it every month)
No, there’s a checkbox to make it a recurring donation, and you can check or uncheck it as you like.
I just donated $9 bucks! I feel like I’ve been with Charley forever! Thank you, Meaghan, for always working on the site!
Thank you! It was a very kind note too.
Reblogged this on My Social Issue Awareness and Action Blog and commented:
A lot of cold cases have been solved through the use of tools like these-set up by everyday people. If we could all contribute the cost of a grande frappucino…
My cousin was kidnapped in Midland, Texas – you have information that I would like to see but keep getting a request for a donation. I just made a donation but still can’t get to her information. Please advise how to proceed with this blog.
From what I’ve seen, there is so much junk stated about her that’s not true.
You shouldn’t see the donation window more than once, regardless of if you donated; I’m not sure what’s going on there. Are you using the same device each time?
What’s your cousin’s name? I can look her up for you.
Yes, same device. June Carpenter Gilkerson – kidnapped in 1986 in Midland, Texas.
Thank you!
http://charleyproject.org/case/june-carpenter-gilkerson Please email me at administrator@charleyproject.org if there’s anything you want to correct.
Donated! Thank you for all you do!
Thanks so much!
Are there any investigators on the Simon Lastrapes case?
Hi Meaghan ! I was willing to send you 10$ a month from now on but somehow I couldn’t find my country in the list, if there’s any other way to donate with my debit card let me know please ?

Thank you so much.
