December Shopping for a Cause
December is a BIG shopping month, so why not set aside a few of your holiday present dollars for a gift that shows how much you care? AIDS awareness is at the forefront in December, kicking off with World AIDS Day on December 1. Many manufacturers and retailers have jumped on board with entire campaigns featuring the (RED) mantra.
RED is Beautiful!
Channel your inner diva with these fundraising products. Glamming it up for a good cause is the best way to go.
Art and Music
The arts are an important part of almost every culture in the world, which is precisely why so many organizations are working to promote them. If you know a music or art lover, these gifts are a great way to show you care while giving to the people who work in the arts.
Do Your Part
If you want to have a direct impact, remember that non-profits earn a large portion of their money from donations. However, most offer products or services that you can buy as well, in order to keep up their operations. If you have a favorite organization that you trust, check out its website. You're likely to find tons of great gifts! Otherwise, take a look at the (wonderful!) organizations below.
