Giving - Step 5: More Ways to Raise Free Money for Needy Charities

After hearing about Free Rice (http://www.freerice.com/), I started to wonder if there were other ways that I could raise free money or materials for needy charities that I hadn't heard about yet. So, I did some searching and found a group of charities that are looking for people to click on their site once a day in order to raise funds for needed supplies and services. These charities can all be reached from one web site: http://www.greatergood.com/. Through this site, you can help the following charities:

1. The Hunger Site - Every time you click the "Click Here to Give - It's Free" button for this charity, 1.1 cups of rice is donated to feed the world's hungry.
2. The Animal Rescue Site - Every time you click the "Click Here to Give - It's Free" button for this charity, 0.6 bowls of food is donated to feed an animal in a shelter.
3. The Rainforest Site - Every time you click the "Click Here to Give - It's Free" button for this charity, you help raise money to protect a portion of the rainforest.
4. The Literacy Site - Every time you click the "Click Here to Give - It's Free" button for this charity, you help raise money to give books to children who don't have any. These books are distributed through the First Book and Room to Read charities.
5. The Child Health Site - Every time you click the "Click Here to Give - It's Free" button for this charity, you help raise money to help prevent childhood diseases. These funds go to the following charities: Mercy Corps, the Prosthetics Outreach Foundation, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation and Helen Keller International.
6. The Breast Cancer Site - Every time you click the "Click Here to Give - It's Free" button for this charity, you help raise money to pay for mammograms for low-income, inner city, and minority women. These funds go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
7. Ecology Fund - This site contains numerous places to click, all of which help protect our environment. Some buttons help raise funds to plant different tree varieties, some help protect different endangered territories. Make sure to click all of the buttons on their site!

Please note that only one click is counted per person per day. You can sign up for daily email reminders so that you never forget to click on these sites. Or make it part of your morning ritual: coffee, email check, charity clicks! Either way, make sure to help these charities raise much needed funds. Not only is it fast and easy, but it's FREE! So, there is no excuse to help out!

Take Care,
