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!
