Making Online Donations

For just about any cause you could imagine, there are ways that you can donate online. But there are some that allow you to donate to more than one cause, or to choose a different one each time you give. 

Network for Good.org lets you search by keywords or charity name. It helps non-profit organizations to raise funds, and helps corporations make donating part of their Corporate Social Responsibility programs. Click on “For Donors” to give, and you’ll be given the option to set up monthly donations, promote your chosen charity with a badge that you can put on your page, or buy The Good Card – a gift card that lets the recipient give to their favorite charity.  They also list issues, disasters in need of relief and ways to volunteer.

Then there’s Just Give.org – they too help you set up a monthly donation, as well as wedding gifts or for other special occasions.  You can search by keyword or by location – if you want to get involved locally. They also offer ways to make your wedding a charitable giving event – “Raise money for charity with your wedding. From registries to invitations and favors to honeymoons, our online tools and services make it a breeze—and eco-friendly too. With many choices to suit just your style, your wedding can reflect everything you believe in.”

And then Care2.com lets you click to donate – and it’s free to you! The sponsors give the money based on how many clicks a cause receives. Some examples are shown on their Click-to-Donate page – like $5,000 sent to Oxfam to help in Haiti and over $21,000 donated to Children’s International over the past 6 years. 

So choose the causes that mean the most to you, and give with internet speed and convenience!
