Holiday Gifts to Charity

FirstGiving.com is a Web site that allows you to select a recipient charity and then set up a giving page where friends and loved ones can donate to your cause, in lieu of purchasing gifts. The FirstGiving.com site is good for birthdays, anniversaries, as well as the holidays, and can also be used in memory of someone or to fundraise in connection with a sporting event or personal goal.
Altgifts.org is the creative gift-giving Web site of Alternative Gifts International, which helps you divert your holiday giving dollars to someone in need in all parts of the world. For example, for the price of an iPod you can purchase supplies for a hospital in North Korea, or for the price of a video game you can purchase a wheelchair for someone in Cambodia. Altgifts.org provides an entire online catalog of creative giving options.
NetworkforGood.org makes it easy to give to any nonprofit you like – or several all at once. They keep track of your donations and provide all the tax information you need.
