Click-to-Donate Sites Make Free Donations Easy

 

We don't all have the resources to donate money to good causes, but with a few clicks of your mouse, you can do a world of good.

A Simple Click Can Help Save the World 

Make free donations online

The Internet has made it easy for everyone to help support a good cause. Even if your monthly budget is strapped and you don't have extra cash to donate to your favorite charity, you can make a difference simply by visiting the sites below and clicking on the free donation buttons. It costs you nothing, won't lead to spam or anything nefarious, and takes only a few minutes every day.

You simply click to donate. That's it. Your click is then translated into good deeds - food for the hungry, carbon offsets, free mammograms to detect breast cancer, rainforest protection or more - and advertisers foot the bill. What could be easier? So bookmark these sites today and start clicking for a better world.

The Hunger Site.com 

The site that started it all

The Hunger Site is the original click-to-donate site. It was started by John Breen, a computer programmer from Bloomington, Indiana, in June of 1999. Originally a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, the site became popular rapidly. Faced with increasing costs, Breen sold the site to GreaterGood, "a Seattle-based online shopping mall that gave part of its sales to charity" for an undisclosed amount in February 2000. In July 2001, following the dot-com bubble crash, GreaterGood ceased operations after losing $26 million dollars in venture capital. In 2001, CharityUSA.com, LLC, a privately held, for-profit charity based in Seattle assumed control of the company for $1 million dollars.

In early 2007, Tim Kunin, CEO and co-owner of TheHungerSite, announced that the site had, since its inception, donated the equivalent of more than 500 million cups of staple food. The charities supported by The Hunger Site have praised it both for the funds that it raises from sponsors and for the traffic it brings to their own sites.

Now when you visit The Hunger Site, you'll also find a selection of other click-to-donate options to save the rainforest, support breast cancer research, and more.

Users were able to upload a photo, add in a few optional Christmas elements, and then shake the globe to watch it snow!

Hello lisadh,
I really enjoyed looking at your lens. I also have a lens about free ways to help charity. It was interesting to see the Pepsi and Clucky's click for cans because I'd never seen those ones before. Thank you.
