With the current economic conditions, many charities and fundraising projects are in real jeopardy. If your money is tight, or you are getting a little maxed out on charitable donations – here are a couple of ideas to help you give to your favorite charity, while keeping your finances in check.
Spend a little – Make a lot.
Convert your $10 or $20 donation, into much more by doing a little work.
- You can spend your donation on baking supplies and host an office bake sale.
- Roll up your sleeves and hold a car wash.
- If you ask a few friends and co-workers to donate some items, you can host a garage sale.
- You can donate your old clothes to a consignment store.
If you donate proceeds of these fundraising efforts and give your time, you will be able to increase your donation to your charity and you will still ultimately save money.
