Give to Charities for Free with Just a Click

Filed under: All, Free

One of the best parts of the holiday season is helping those less fortunate than us. Sometimes that’s hard to do, especially when you’re trying to be thrifty or even struggling to make ends meet. So beyond dropping some pennies into the Salvation Army bucket outside your store or maybe donating your time to your favorite organization, there is another way to help benefit great causes, and it only takes a few minutes of your time.

Today I want to tell you about click to give websites. The concept is simple: you can go there once a day, click a button, and the advertisers on the resulting page pay the website. Then that money is donated to whatever cause is represented on that page. It’s easy. It costs nothing. You can do it every day, and it actually helps great organizations.

Check out some of the click to give sites available:

In addition to featuring shops where you can buy gifts that benefit their causes, you can also click to give for the following:

Care2.com features 11 different causes to support:

Free Rice is a little bit different than the other sites–which makes it more fun. Instead of just clicking a button, you play a vocabulary game, and for every one you get right, 10 grains of rice is donated to feed the hungry. This is a great procrastination game, that not only builds your vocabulary, but does some good as well.

These are all of the click-to-give sites that I am aware of, but if you know of more, let me know.

Now, I don’t want you to become lazy and think that just by clicking each day you’re doing your part, because your not. Consider volunteering your time, money, or other resources to worth organizations in your area. Unfortunately, a couple pennies from some advertisements will not solve all the worlds problems.
