maatiam

I just found this website that makes donations to the nonprofit of your choice with every online purchase you make.  (if the company is participating)
I think it's crazy. It's like the (RED) campaign but better cause you don't have to shop at GAP. 

The only purchases I make these days are for cheap text books  but... I can use that website for them too. They take a cut from the donation which is understandable. Otherwise,  it seems legit. 
So if you're shopping online and feeling bad about your purchase, go through this website and maybe you'll feel a little better cause you're giving to a nonprofit at the same time. 


I feel like I don't know of many non-profits to give to. Maybe you can comment with some of the ones you  support. 

Here's my very short list. 

Rise Up Inc.  (Bend OR)
Kiva Microfund
Africa Aid
Venice Family Health Clinic
World Vision
Habitat for Humanity

You should check out GivingPal too. They have hundreds of stores and hundreds of charities to choose from.

I see both Save Dafur and Africa Aid in their international cause section. And it looks like your wish lists can benefit your cause which is pretty cool too.
