Its not always easy to fit charitable donations into your budget. So here are a few ways to give to charity at no cost to you . . . YAY!

1. Click to donate

HERE IS ANOTHER WAY!

Avanoo is a startup that is helping to make the world better by letting people use a new support channel- web presence. Web users can go to Avanoo.com get a badge for a cause and start raising awareness and donations 24/7 effortlessly. And each time one of these badge is clicked, a donation is made to the nonprofit organization on the badge. If you could put a badge on you blog or write about this growing movement, you would be helping to make the world a better place!

Thanks,

Dorian

You can also use online apps available on Facebook to help raise money by sharing with your friends, school/college, neighbor anyone you have relation with. Anyone can create online fundraising pages for their favorite nonprofit organization and use Facebook to promote and raise fund through Connect To Charity

Buying or selling real estate? Barry Sullivan Homes credits our clients at closing 20% of the commissions paid. The credit amount is then sent to the clients charity of choice. With an average 3% commission on a $300,000 home - net to the charity is $1800.00 and a tax write off for our clients. Win-Win-Win all around. Lots of Real Estate agents and brokers are participating in this. Barry and Tanda Sullivan
