Million Dollar Nile

Mil­lion Dol­lar Nile held a vote for where to donate $1,000 from the pro­ceeds of the sale of our first album, The Def­i­n­i­tion of Adven­ture, to advance the cause of sus­tain­abil­i­ty. You vot­ed and the win­ner was Trans­porta­tion Choic­es Coalition! 

Pre­vi­ous post from our Nom­i­na­tion page
Let’s be seri­ous for a sec: cli­mate change is scary. Sea lev­el rise, food scarci­ty, dis­ease. And the same goes for a host of oth­er envi­ron­men­tal, social, and eco­nom­ic issues: We, as a peo­ple and as a gen­er­a­tion, have some seri­ous work to do.

That’s why we’re donat­ing all the mon­ey we make from this album to orga­ni­za­tions work­ing to make this world sus­tain­able. Which orga­ni­za­tions, you ask? That’s where you come in! First, you nom­i­nate orga­ni­za­tions. Then, we put out the list of nom­i­na­tions for a web vote. Then, we send the top vote-get­ter a check! Our first $1,000 check will be announced on June 11th at the Trac­tor Tavern.
