Free Ways To Help

The United States Women's History Project not only focuses on history, but on advocacy. Here are some free ways you can support worthwhile causes online! First off, check out FreeRice. It's a vocabulary quiz site that donates 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program each time you get a word right. The rice is paid for by the advertisers, who have small, on-screen pop-ups at the bottom of the page. It's a way to test your knowledge and help end world hunger at the same time.

Another website is Search Kindly. As their webpage states, "Search Kindly lets you donate money for free just by using Google from this page instead of any other. All of the money that we make through advertising is donated to charities that you select. Search Kindly is a non-profit organization dedicated to the idea of micro-volunteerism and micro-philanthropy A lot of people doing a little is better than a few people doing a lot. 100% of the advertising revenue generated from this website is donated to charitable organizations that our volunteers select every month." Every search you do raises 1/3 of a cent; it sounds like a only a little bit, but it all adds up!

Also, check out these click-a-day sites that also donate their advertising money: The Hunger Site, which delivers cups of staple food to people in "over 74 countries" through Mercy Corps and America's Second Harvest; The Breast Cancer Site, which provides mammograms to women in need through the National Breast Cancer Foundation; The Child Health Site, which gives various health care through charitable partners like Helen Keller International and Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation ; The Literacy Site, which gives books to kids; The Animal Rescue Site, which provides an animal food and care at a shelter; and The Rainforest Site, which focuses on land preservation with The Nature Conservancy, The Rainforest Conservation Fund, The World Parks Endowment, and Rainforest2Reef. To read more about each site's sponsors and partners, check out the "About This Site" page on each one.
