Yesterday, JK Rowling updated her site
to include a new link to 'The VOLANT Charitable Trust', which was set up by the author herself to distribute funds to appropriate charities.
The charity's website states that its two main funding targets include Multiple Sclerosis research and also charities which aim to end social deprivation of women and children, both of which JK Rowling has been actively involved with for years.

Hmm. I didn't realize people still went to her site. I haven't been there since I was looking for dispelled rumors from book 6 or something.

Oh bless her, what's better than having a lot money is knowing how to use it. Good one J.K Rowling!

What a wonderful woman! She could have so easily just squandered all her money on cars, mansions and shoes, but instead she chooses to support worthy charities.
Some sheiks in Dubai could take note ...

I was looking at the logo, thinking that it was Jo's signature at first.... and I kept thinking it looked all weird and different and not right... And then I figured out it says Volant... But how similar it looks makes sense since she set it up. =)
