Proofreading for a Cause
Proofreading for a Cause seeks to support nonprofit organizations that I believe help to empower and capacitate the economically marginalized, politically disenfranchised, and socially neglected. By donating to any of these causes, you are helping to change the world bit by bit. And whatever donation you contribute, I will match it by word count.
Official Partnerships

Common Questions.
How does donation by word count work?
First, take note of my proofreading rate and the word count you require, then simply donate the equivalent amount to your nonprofit of choice.
For example, my proofreading rate for projects less than 10,000 words is Php 0.60 per word.
If the word count you would like me to proofread is 1,000 words, then please donate Php 600.00 to any of the organizations posted here.
Just provide proof of donation, and I will gladly proofread your document at no added charge.
What kind of service will I get for donating?
All those who donate can avail of my proofreading service. For now, line editing and copyediting will only be available as payable services.
If you would still like to avail of my line editing or copyediting services while supporting a cause, feel free to contact me and I’ll make it so that a portion of your payment goes to the nonprofit of your choice.
Do you get anything if I donate to these causes you support?
ALL proceeds from Proofreading for a Cause will go directly to the nonprofits. Donations and payments are not handled by me but by the assigned financial team behind them.
What if it says you’re fully booked?
That means I’m unable to accept any gigs for the time being, but that shouldn’t stop you from supporting these awesome nonprofits!
Keep your proof of donation, though; once I have the resources to take on more projects, I’ll proofread your document for free when you show proof that you’ve donated to any of these organizations!
Be on the lookout for my availability!
