Do Some Good

Tuesday's Child recently mentioned GoodSearch as an easy way to raise money for a cause you believe in. I've found a few additional cool ways that you can use your regular web activities to raise money for charity. Most of these use the money from ad revenues to make donations, some use referral fees to get you to shop at their stores. Either way, these are easy ways to make an impact.

The Hunger Site (and related sites): click a link and sponsors donate money toward food for the hungry. Bonus: shopping at their online store generates even more donations.

The Bible Site: same idea, but it raises money to give Bibles to the poor.

iGive.com: Shop at one of their designated stores and get a percentage of your purchase price donated to a charity of your choice.

I'm: configure Microsoft Live Messenger to make a donation to one of ten charities every time you have an instant messaging conversation.

Thanks for the good ideas on how to help the world! But if you like igive, you'll love HEARTof.com, which is far more generous in helping worthy causes. Both sites are similar shopping malls of over 650 stores, but compared to igive, HEARTof.com
on averqage donates over twice the percentage of purchase prices. That makes a big difference for shoppers and their chosen causes alike.
