Donating with a click
March 25, 2010 |
Most people want to donate to special causes. From saving animals that are picked up off the streets to feeding people in third world countries, we as human beings feel for those less fortunate and in need of a little help. We have a sense of what it feels to be less fortunate and hope we never have to experience it first hand.
While we wish we could help, other things prevent us from following through with such assistance. When budgets are already busting at the seams, donating money to organizations may help someone else, but will cause difficulties for ourselves. Finding the time out of a busy schedule to donate can be nearly impossible. Weekdays can be packed with job responsibilities and weekends filled with things that didn’t get done during the week.
So what does one do to help out? Donate with something simple but very big when combined with others. Everywun provides a conduit for you to benefit an organization. The website gives you a “badge” to place on your website similar to an ad. When visitors click on this, a certain amount is donated to the organization. The more clicks, the more donated. It only takes a few minutes to get the badge and place it on your website, the same amount of time it takes to check whether you got any new email within the last five minutes.
This simple yet powerful tool makes you, as well as your visitors feel good. Your visitors, who are also very busy and feel the same will be happy to click on the badge and donate to a good cause. It can be viral as well, where they add a badge to their own blog or social network profile.
It may seem like a small step. A few cents here and there doesn’t make much difference, one might think. But if there are enough clicks, the few cents can add up to a big difference for people or animals.
