Good Works: Compassionate Clicks for Causes

Donate free with just a click of your mouse. All are charitable clicks that are advertiser-supported and cost you nothing at all. Each of the following sites accepts one click per day. There is usually no obligation to visit advertiser sites, but donors are invited to visit and shop. When you use these sites as shopping portals, then donor participation increases and donations from retail e-commerce sites further support the causes. If you find a program that has ended, or you want to suggest a link, please contact me. You can click directly - a new window will open for each link you click.
