igive.com is a terrific way for me to do something nice while doing something I was going to do anyway.  I'm an avid online shopper, so I was going to be shopping anyway, and with igive, I'm giving to charity with every purchase.  It eleminates the guilt of splurging a little.  Now… read full review »

If you want to support your cause or organization by shopping online, don't use iGive!  On average, it gives much smaller percentages of your purchase prices than many other similar sites.  To mention just two examples, HEARTof.com and Schoolpop are both far more generous.   … read full review »

I've always given to Charities - sometimes more than others. When i discovered that there was a way to have part of my online shopping dollar go to Charity - I thought that was great! When I found out that it could go to the Charity of MY CHOICE - I thought that was OUTSTANDING!! — With iGive.com, I chose the Charity, in my case Guardian Angel Basset Rescue, and part of each of my online shopping dollars goes to them - as long as I shop with igive participating merchants. A few years ago, that might have been difficult. But now, there is a wide variety of stores to choose from. From… read full review »

If you shop online even  once a month this is a Great way to raise money for a cause you believe in. There are a number of different charitable organizations that you can support. I like getting the reminder from "Betty" every month. This helps to remind me to use the igive window when I shop online. Since I do a lot of online shopping for family that live out of state it allows me a number of different stores to shop in all in one place! Knowing that a small portion of each transaction is credited to my favorite charity is even better. I also appreciate some of the features they have.… read full review »

A friend of mine who knows that I shop online frequently because of my busy schedule suggested igive.com because they will donate a portion of your purchase to your chosen charity (and they have many, many charities and organizations to chose from)! A donation to charity just for shopping like I always do at stores like Eddie Bauer, Target, Ebay, Best Buy, Cabela's, JCPenney, PetSmart, Toys R Us and tons of other favorites! And it's free! So I signed up and started supporting my favorite organization! I hope that more stores will get on board with igive.com (like Wal-Mart) because it is a… read full review »

Who wouldn't love igive?? Money gets donated to your charity of choice just for going through their website!  There are several more popular stores that I wish would get on board, but for the most part, the selection of stores is wide.  I also wish more websites would increase their donations, but every little bit helps! —… read full review »

I have found a website titled igive.com which allows you to earn money for a charity or organization of  your choice by shopping at approved vendors.  Starting at their website you can access a list of stores and find out what percentage of your purchase price will be donated to your charity.  There are a lot of major retailers involved and some of the percentages are quite generous.  And if a certain store isn't a participant you can go through a site like shop.com and still have access to the item you want and your charity gets its donation.  The checks are sent… read full review »

     Your favorite charity not listed?  You can add it.  My favorite local charity is Chico Cat Coalition. They rescue and (hopefully) adopt out cats and kittens that have been abandoned in Bidwell Park. —      I was surprised to find them already listed, so now every time I go online shopping I check the list of stores on I Give and pick one that will donate a percentage of my purchase to the cat coalition.  Such an easy, painless way to donate.  Try it! —… read full review »

Shop online and donated to your charity!   It is easy!  Join igive.com and pick your charity.  Each time you shop online a percentage of your item goes to the charity of your choice.  Hundreds of stores participate.  The folks at igive track your purchases and give  you updated reports.  You can also see when checks are mailed to your charity.  If you are shopping online why not donate too? … read full review »

A percentage of your purchases goes to the cause of your choice when you shop through the links on the iGive.com site.  The site also offers discounts, special deals, and a (somewhat limited) product locator.  There are many charities to choose from.  I like the fact that if the organization you wish to back is not already among them, you can choose to add them to the list.  … read full review »

What a great idea!  I have used mypoints for a long time; but they are very limited on what you can do donation-wise.  With igive, I can make sure my favorite charity gets a benefit for purchases I would be making anyway!  Who can argue with anything that makes shopping… read full review »

I love iGive.com. Most of their stores are the ones I normally use for shopping anyway. I do most of my shopping online since I am disabled and homebound. So this way I'm able to give a little to my favorite cause just by doing what I would be doing anyway. I think this is a great… read full review »

This is such an easy way to help raise money for your cause.  All you have to do is something you do anyway - SHOP.  The stores donate a percentage of your sale to your charity!  —  And when you first sign up, you get $5 donated to your charity.  This is excellent.  The more you shop, the more money you help raise.  Look for stores with higher donation percentages, and earn even more. —  With Christmas coming up, why not get on board with your charity. —… read full review »
