When you don't have any spare cash yourself, it can seem impossible to help those who are in even greater need. But there are now several ways to donate without it costing you anything. By simply changing the way you carry out regular activities, you will be contributing to the charity of your choice, and if you can spare a few minutes of your day, you can give even more. Choose from the options below that you find appropriate for you.

Steps

  1. Begin all of your shopping at GoodShop.com. More than 5000 of the nation's top Internet retailers including Amazon, eBay, Target, Staples and more have teamed up with GoodShop and will donate up to 37% of each purchase to your designated charity or school. UK Users and charities should try iStreet.org.uk.
  2. Search the Internet with GoodSearch.com. This Yahoo-powered search engine donates 50% of its revenue, about a penny per search, to your favorite charity. More than 62,000 nonprofits are on-board. The site has been featured in the NY Times, CNN, ABC News, Oprah Magazine and more.
  3. Go to freerice.com It donates 10 grains of rice to charity for each word that you match correctly to its meaning. One can answer questions on other subjects such as grammar, foreign language, art, mathematics, and chemistry as well.
  4. Visit The Hunger Site. This was probably the first of the "click to donate" sites. Visit the site whenever you can as each day you visit and click on the donation button will see 1 cup of staple food donated by the site sponsors. Their network of sites has now been enlarged to include amongst others The Breast Cancer Site to fund free mammograms; The Rainforest Site, to fund the preservation of endangered rainforest; the Child Health Site which helps prevent life-threatening diseases, restore vision to blind children, and enable child amputees to walk and The Animal Rescue Site where you click helps buy food and care for a rescued animal.
  5. Go to Care2's Click to Donate. There are many causes to click for, such as Global Warming, Wolves, Seals, and Children. These listed on the left side.
  6. Visit http://www.good-causes-online.com/freecharitydonations.html for a long list of similar "free click" sites
  7. Volunteer. There are charitable organizations doing all sorts of work and needing all sorts of talents and interests. Your time, talent, and dedication can be as great a gift as money.
  8. When you decide to de-clutter your house, donate all of the old things you no longer need to organizations that accept used items.
  9. Donate blood through American Red Cross. Most require the donor to be at least 17, but may allow those aged 16 to donate with a parental signature.
  10. Donate your hair to cancer patients through Locks of Love

Tips

  • To help you remember your daily clicks, download a free Toolbar from http://www.thehungersite.com which not only shows you tickboxes to indicate whether you've donated today but also includes a Google Search facility on the top of your browser window.
  • For freerice.com remember to look at the prefixes and suffixes of the word to help find out the meaning, or use a dictionary.
  • If you can't donate or do any of the steps outlined above then volunteer to work for your local charity. If you have a busy schedule this may not be possible but you can at least try to donate a few hours per month.
