Web Women Giving Circle + A Few Ideas to Give Holiday Hope

During the holidays, give yourself a very healthy time out to remember the true spirit of giving. It's easy to get caught up in the commercial aspects of the season. Let's make sure help is available for those who live without even the bare minimum. There are so many worthy causes to which we can contribute money or time. Some of my favorites are Mercy Corps, Habitat for Humanity, Heifer Project International and Doctors without Borders.

If you need help finding a cause that you can support, head to Charity Navigator a website that evaluates the level of efficiency of hundreds of charitable organizations. You can find out how much of your contribution will go directly to the needy subjects of that charity, and how much may go into the pockets of Scroogy CEOs.


Did you know you can give painlessly all year long while doing your normal online shopping?! there are two sources I use to give part of the money I'm spending anyway. First, the Web Women Giving Circle , founded by Joeann Fossland, REALTOR® and coach extraordinaire, offers the public a chance to direct consumer dollars to CARE to aid that group in providing humanitarian relief to all corners of the globe. Consider making your Amazon gift purchases here. Bookmark this site and send it to your family and friends. All monies collected in our Amazon affiliate relationship will be sent to CARE.


The second, which I've used for a while, is called Greater Good. All you have to do it start from their home page and go to many, many online retailers that will contribute a part of your purchase money to the charity you choose at Greater Good. It doesn't get any easier than that!
