A co-worker paid $40 to the fund, I produced for her 8 or 10 well done prints and gave her the disc. I didn't make a penny, in fact my time pretty much went to charity. But... I got 5 referrals through this co-worker... paying referrals. So... maybe a bit of service trading, maybe a bit of creative advertising. It certainly was worth it to give a little bit to charity.
