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.

Wear Red on February 2

Tomorrow is National Wear Red Day. No, this is not another made-up holiday! Wearing red is a tool to raise awareness for women's heart disease. Many people, including women and even their doctors, think of heart disease as a man's problem. But it's the leading cause of death for American women! There are lots of great resources on GoRedForWomen.org. Besides learning about heart disease, you can shop for cool gifts that help raise money for women's heart health education. You can even order a free red dress pin, which this cause uses instead of a colored ribbon. Know your numbers! Make healthy choices! Wear red!
