Not just at tax time!

Lots of people make big end of the year donations to charitable causes to be able to write it off in taxes but it seems like helping the less fortunate should be a year round event. So in light of a bunch of neat organization that have recently come to my attention or have kept my attention over the year this is my "save the world" post of the year.

Looking for somewhere to give check out these options!

World Vision is saving lives one child at a time. Through the sponsorhip of a kid you can help save a whole generation in an African village, island city, or even in the poorest parts of India. Meet Maheswari.

For only 20.00 you can buy a poor third world country family an entire flock of ducks that will provide eggs, meat and a higher crop yield by going to Heifer International. You can also choose to provide a heifer, llama, pig, chicks, bees and more.


At Kiva you can help support entrepeneurs around the world. Your donation goes towards a business loan to help men and women start businesses from farming to clothing sales internationally.

Buy a handmade bead necklace from TAPP. The money you spend will go to support the woman and children making the necklaces as well as AIDS prevention programs in Uganda and medications for those already infected with HIV.
