>"Kaepernick has also pledged to donate the first $1 million he makes this season to charities that will help communities in need. He added a little more about the progress on that front Tuesday, saying he intends to donate $100,000 per week over the next 10 weeks to the organizations he chooses to work with.

Kaepernick said his team is building a website that shows where the money is going, shows how it's being spent and, he hopes, offers people the chance to donate.

"We'll be able to track it so everyone can see exactly what organizations the money is going to and also making sure that we get an itemized list from the organizations of what they're spending the money on to make sure not only that I'm transparent with what I'm doing but these organizations are transparent with where the money is going as well," Kaepernick said.

Kaepernick said it has been challenging to vet the many organizations that have reached out for help and he is working to ensure that the money is going to the right place."<
