Shop Online and Raise Funds for Your Favorite Animal Nonprofit

By Michele C. Hollow of Pet News and Views

Helping your favorite cause got a whole lot easier. Now you can raise funds for your favorite animal charity while you shop. At GiftsThatGive, you shop for upscale items for your pets, adults, children, and your home. When you shop, the site donates $1 of every $5 spent to the charity of your choice. That’s a tail-wagging 20 percent of purchase prices to help cats, dogs, and other causes that matter to you.

One of my favorite nonprofits that Gifts that Gives benefits is Hope For Paws.

Every gift that shoppers buy benefits a nonprofit. With over 1.4 million charities to select from, your favorite cause is likely to be in the site’s database. 

On the site you will find everything from home decor and tech accessories to toys and fashion. The prices are comparable to stores that carry upscale brands. The big difference between this store and others is that here 20 percent of the purchase price goes to charity.

Spread the News about Your Favorite NonProfit
If your nonprofit is on the site, here is a link to an app where you can create your own widget for the cause you support. When people click on your widget, it takes them to the GiftsThatGive website and your charity will be the one already chosen up in the top right corner of the website.

Gifts That Give Facebook App
The GiftsThatGive app will help you build your own fundraiser right on Facebook. To set up your own Facebook Fundraiser, click here. This is a good way to let your Facebook friends know about your favorite nonprofit.

How It Works
Gifts that Give, disburses donations through Network for Good, a nonprofit organization that has a secure system for payment transfer. All donations greater than $10 are tax deductible. One of my favorite nonprofits is Hope For Paws. If you click here, you will be taken to the Hope For Paws GiftsThatGive page. It’s nice to know that if I shop here, Hope For Paws benefits. Hope for Paws, led by Eldad and Audrey Hagar, has rescued thousands of dogs and cats. They are amazing people. When you click on the link, and if you are not taken to the Hope For Paws page, write Hope For Paws in the “keyword” section at the top of the screen. It will take you to the Hope For Paws page.
