CausePub is a crowd-book-publishing company. They choose a non-profit (that is the "Cause" part), invite writers to submit their work, and edit and publish a book (that is the "Pub" or publishing part). They donate half the proceeds to the cause, and also pay the authors for their work.
The current project is Couch Rebels.
The cause is Blood:Water Mission - an organization that empowers communities to work together against HIV/AIDS and the water crisis in Africa.
Writers write. Readers read. People get clean water.

There would be performances and singing in the evenings, but our songs would be heard in dark homeless shelter dining rooms, not under the warm lights of a church stage.
