igive.com Reviews

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 Newegg.com to...

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. They notify...

     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!

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!

I enjoy using igive.com and use it specificly because it donates to the charity of my choice.  I wish more members from my charity would use it because it just seems so easy to give.  I'd rather use igive that do some silly fundraiser that I have to attend.

This is convenient and easy for any computer user.

I was not aware-till I read other reviews that there are other companies that do something similar as igive-and perhaps have better donations percentages.  I will have to check this out.

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.
