Every volunteer coordinator has heard this dreaded response to recruitment and donation solicitation: “I just don’t have the time or money.” Oh, but you do! We (myself included) argue there aren’t enough hours in the day, or zeros in our bank account balances, to attend to our needs and have something left over for others. Yet we manage to find the time and funds to shop for shoes, throw pillows and electronics. I have the perfect remedy for your busy, charitably-challenged schedule: iGive.com.

Creating an account at iGive.com allows you to select a charity of your choice and shop at over 680 participating stores that will donate a percentage of your sales purchases to your favorite cause. Not finding something among the 38,000+ causes that speaks to your interests? You can register your own fundraising campaign for something such as costumes for your child’s school theater performance. Then put the PTA work by having them create accounts and buying those new jeans and ink cartridges through iGive.
