Charitable Donations for Free

While traversing the Internet recently, I found some amazing items on the Humane Society of the United States' website that I just had to share.Continue reading: Charitable Donations for Free

• Everyone I know has a cell phone, including our two sons. But what I didn't know was that there is a service, called Humane Wireless. And I quote: "The Humane Society of the United States has teamed up with Working Assets to bring you a unique phone service that provides an amazing 10%* of all phone charges to protect animals — at no extra cost to you!"
  • I checked out the plans and the prices, and was amazed to find that there was absolutely no difference between their rates and those of our current service. (Unfortunately, we're in the middle of a 2-year contract, so we're not eligible to change carriers.) If you're in the market for a new wireless service, or were waiting to take the cell phone plunge ~ why not check out Humane Wireless? You know you're going to use that cell phone. Wouldn't it be terrific to help protect animals while you're doing it?

• Just when I was about to write off Microsoft, I found out about the Microsoft i'm Initiative. And I quote: "i’m is a new initiative from Windows Live Messenger™. Every time you start a conversation using i’m, Microsoft shares a portion of the program's advertising revenue with some of the world's most effective organizations dedicated to social causes. We've set no cap on the amount we'll donate to each organization. The sky's the limit."
  • It's incredibly easy to sign up, especially if you already use Windows Live Messenger™. The Initiative supports 10 organizations, from the American Red Cross to UNICEF, and all you have to do is chat, which you know you're going to do anyway. Right? Why not show your support? I did.
