- eScrip: Register your grocery loyalty cards and credit cards and choose from a list of charities where you want your contributions to go. Spend up to $300 at Safeway (for example) each month and eScrip will donate 1% of your spending to the charity you've chosen. If you spend more, the percentage increases.
- Click to Give: Make your homepage The Breast Cancer Site and every time you open a new window, click to give a free mammogram. Last year's clicks alone funded 2,808 mammograms by their sponsors. You can also shop through their website to raise additional funds. Other charities that participate include The Veterans Site, The Literacy Site and The Hunger Site... how can you pick just one?
- Shopping at Amazon.com: (Your non-profit of choice will have to get this set up). Our church when we lived in Hawaii (Harbor Church Hawaii Kai) has their own amazon.com redirect link: We shop a lot on amazon.com and every time we click on the bookmarked redirect link, our church gets a credit towards their next purchase. I'm sure it is a very small portion of what we spend, but every little bit helps.
- Good Search: This search engine raises money for the charity of your choice every time you search. I use it to raise money for Biola University, which has made $138.38 since they joined.
- FreeRice.com: Take a trivia quiz and for each question you get right, the World Food Programme will donate 10 grains of rice to help end world hunger.
- Your favorite charity: Check out the "get involved" section of your favorite charity's website. There might be opportunities for you to give free money to them by shopping online through their website. I just signed up with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to donate 25% of the purchase price to CFF for anyone who enters "CFF" in the Notes to Seller section of my Etsy shop. Many other sellers on Etsy do the same thing for their favorite charities!
I can vouch for these programs because I've been using them all for at least 2 years. There are plenty more like them that I have not tried, such as Connect to Charity, iGive and GoodShop. Leave me a comment if you have any other ideas!
I've used Free Rice. It's good GRE test prep.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your sharing the ways that you contribute to charity online. It's always good to know which is a good one. Your newest follower from EBT, welcome!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing. I need to look into some of these.
ReplyDeleteI do the Hunger Site group and Free Rice, too. Isn't it amazing how easy it is to help?
ReplyDeleteA. Alexandra- That is too funny! Trivia does sharpen your mind, right?
ReplyDeleteEmily-Claire- You're welcome! They're all easy ways to give to charity without even digging into your own pockets.
ReplyDeletePaige- So easy! The amazon.com redirect link and GoodSearch don't even take an extra second of your time.
ReplyDeleteCheck out We Give Books:

When you read a book online, they donate a book to another child. How awesome is that??! Yeah for literacy!!
Great post Tricia!
Rebecca- That's a good one! I'm always looking for new books for my Little Sweets (more for me than for her). Fun!
ReplyDeleteYou can also use Connect to Charity to raise funds for charity organizations. It is supporting more than 1.8M nonprofits by spreading the word amongst potential donors by creating online fundraising pages and Facebook Aps for promotion.
ReplyDeleteThanks for some direction and help. Today is my first day starting to raise money online for a charity. I'm in the researching ideas stage and your article has given me some ideas.
ReplyDeleteI'm working for http://www.children1st.org.uk/
I still have to set a home page and register and everything.
Keep up the good work :-)
ps (I have a beautiful, wonderful 3 year old daughter :-)
Thanks Mark! Just added Connect to Charity to the list.

The 2020 Olympic Games was extremely difficult. It was postponed for nearly a year due to the epidemic and finally held in Tokyo in July. Many people will pay attention to the performance of the Olympic athletes on the field. Their outstanding results and healthy physique are enviable. Although we are not sports athletes, we can also put on our favorite NIKSA activewear to accelerate our speed and strengthen our physique during daily exercise.NIKSA.
