How To Make A Difference With Just A Click Of Your Mouse

When you make a charitable donation you do it because you want to support a cause like finding a cure for cancer or feeding the hungry, right? What if you can't afford to make a donation, though? Can you still help out? Yes, thanks to the power of the World Wide Web. Believe it or not there's a way to help fund needy causes with nothing more than just a click of your mouse!

It's true. There are several of what are known as "click to donate" sites on the Web that will allow you to do just that. It works like this: Every time you click on a designated button sponsors pay a small fee, a percentage of which is then donated to
charity.

Here are some examples of sites where you can make a difference with just a click of your mouse:

  • Craig Research Labs - Click on the I Fight Cancer! button and then look at the ads on the resulting page and your click will help raise money for cancer research!
  • The Animal Rescue Site - When you click on the Fund Food For Animals button you help do just that!
  • The Breast Cancer Site - Do your part in the fight against breast cancer when you click on the Fund Free Mammograms button at this site.

Usually only one click a day per visitor is allowed and the amount raised per click is small, but if lots of people visit...well, you get the idea.

There are enough of these types of sites, even, that "click to donate" directories like Click to Donate Free have been created to make it easier to participate in this form of online philanthropy!
