10:45AM 12/14/2010
'Tis the season to remember the less fortunate, and Jim Gibbons, CEO of Goodwill Industries, hopes his nonprofit will be on the receiving end as you make out your charitable giving list.

The Real Winner From Jon Stewart's Rally in Washington, D.C.
6:20PM 11/03/2010
Comedy Central and Jon Stewart paid the tab to host the Rally to Restore Sanity, but they'll be measuring their gains in terms of influence, not cash. There were profits to be made from the event, though, and one of its biggest beneficiaries is one all Americans can support: The National Mall itself.
A new spin on charitable donations
12:30PM 3/10/2010
I blogged recently about how few nonprofits don't let you make microloans directly to recipients. That's a bummer if you, say, want to aid earthquake victims in Haiti or Chile. You want to make sure your money gets where you want it to go.

Thanks to the Huffington Post's shame-on-you report, credit card companies stopped taking a cut of charitable donations made to Haiti relief efforts using credit cards.
Other companies didn't have to be told twice -- they're sacrificing a cut of their profits up front. Whether you're planning to...
Verizon Wireless on Friday advanced the $2.98 million in mobile donations that its customers have made to the Red Cross. Since the earthquake hit Haiti earlier this week, mobile operators have received $10 million in donations via text messages. Typically, such donations can take up to three months to be delivered.
Americans set a single day record for mobile giving Wednesday, as tens of thousands of people used their cell phones to donate $3 million to earthquake-stricken Haiti, according to Verizon Wireless.

The less you have the more likely you are to give; that's what new research from the McClatchy group shows, backing up this long-held belief with hard data. According to the group's research, the poorest Americans give above their capacity, donating more in comparison than the most well off upper...
The Stanford Blood Center has come up with a new way to get people to donate blood: Job hunting help for the unemployed.
Job hunting hurts, much like the prick of a needle can hurt. But the pain shouldn't be enough to stop job seekers from donating something that can save a life.

2:30PM 1/05/2009
If you want to find a good hairdresser in your area, you go online to Yelp.com. A good restaurant: Zagats.com. But where do you go to find a worthy -- and trustworthy -- charity to donate to? Try GreatNonprofits.org, a site that's trying to make it easier for all parties involved in a nonprofit --...

Just about everyone is talking about something "green" these days. Whether it's green cars, green buildings, or just the green focused lifestyle itself, you can hardly turn around without someone pushing some green concept in your face. It's enough to turn a person, well, green.I have always tried...
