Picking a charity navigator for giving

Even charity giving is now tech savy, so let’s do this! Open Google type in find charity and boom….Ugh Ok don’t despair we can do this! Here are some great solutions for giving that we found for giving.

Instead
The Instead app suggests small changes to your daily routine. Changes like brewing your own coffee instead of buying it or renting movies instead of going to the theater create savings that can be donated to projects from charities like Dignitas and Water is Basic. If you’re ready for a small change, download this app instead of that new puzzle game.
The One Today app highlights a new charity every day and gives its users the choice to support that charity by making a $1 donation. This is Googles app and will be an Andriod solution to giving.
JustGive
The JustGive app is possibly the easiest online app for making traditional donations. Just browse or search listed charities and make a donation quickly and easily.
Save the Children Earthquake Response
Save The Children created the Earthquake Response app to give players a glimpse into the experience of disaster response. The app is a clever way to raise awareness about the situations that Save the Children responds to and supports around the world. It’s hard to imagine disaster relief education being playful, but no challenge is too daunting for the ingenuity of Save the Children and their innovative campaigns.
