A new way to give

19 January, 2010 by moi

Seems like everywhere you turn, there are options for giving to Haiti.  Before you choose a charity, I recommend checking out their rating on Charity Navigator.   In addition to rating charities, Charity Navigator provides tips for giving. 

There are countless ways to give – and it doesn’t have to be a lot: 

  • Text.  Text “90999” and $10 will be added to your cell phone bill; money that will then be donated to the Red Cross.   
  • Donate.  Some reward credit cards are allowing you to donate a portion of your accumulated rewards.  Check with your credit card company for details. 
  • Shop.  That’s right, you can shop and give at the same time.  If you haven’t a clue where to begin, The Bright Side Project can help.  This week they will be featuring one business, per day, that will donate a portion of sales to the relief efforts in Haiti. 

Many charities decided to give a portion of their sales to charity – even before the catastrophe in Haiti.  Bee Wise Bags is one example.  Ten percent of all sales are donated to Heaven’s Gate, a home in India for children with AIDS.  What a wonderful way to do business – with a business that gives back.  Wouldn’t you agree?

The fine print

Magpie & Muttonfly is the place where I write about all the things that make our stories grand. Emphasis on me, myself, and I. Any review or recommendation posted on this site is solely my own {unless otherwise noted}. Occasionally you will find a link to Amazon.com. An eternal window shopper, I only list items that strike my fancy. Any time you click the link and proceed to make a purchase, I get a wee referral fee. You will not be charged more--but once or twice a year I earn enough to purchase a tin of my favorite tea. So I do thank you for that!
