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.
- Spend your donation on baking supplies and host an office bake sale.
- Roll up your sleeves and hold a car wash.
- Ask friends and co-workers to donate a few items, and host a garage sale.
- Sell old clothes at a consignment store.
By donating proceeds of these fundraising efforts and giving your time, you will be able to increase your donation to your charity and still ultimately save money.
