Our guide to socially responsible holiday giving continues…

“Cyber Monday” is an even more ridiculous (and inaccurate) name for a day than “Black Friday.”  But if you’re caught up in the hype and are doing some online shopping today (during your lunch break, of course!) there are a few sites that will allow you to donate to various funds and organizations while you take care of your holiday shopping.

• According to Huffington Post: Your top bet for buying and giving is Good Shop, a site by GoodSearch.com which links to online coupons and gives up to 30% of each purchase you make to the organization or school of your choice.  The donation money comes from commission paid by retailers to GoodSearch.com.
•  Also from HuffPo: Electronics website UncleVic.com is offering to donate $1 for every purchase made on the site through tonight as part of its Penny Pincher Promotion. 
•  Proceeds from today’s sales at CyberMonday.com will go to a scholarship fund.
•  And you can always give to women and girls in our region by going to Washington Area Women’s Foundation’s giving page.  You can even make a donation in honor of someone else.  It’s the gift that makes everybody feel good!
