Qui Diaz is Getting Her Give On
Posted by Allison Fine on December 18, 2008
A fantastic post from Qui Diaz on 50+ ways to give to causes for the holidays. A few of my favorites:
- Feed A Need with Reddit – Add your qualifications to Reddit’s “Database of Awesome” and be ready to give 2 hours of your time to one of the project’s partnering charities.
- SocialVibe – Select your charity (e.g., One Laptop Per Child), your sponsor (e.g., Apple), grab and display your badge on your social profiles, and earn points for donations to your charity.
- Instant Message for Good – The more messages you send, the more ad revenue Microsoft Live Messenger kicks to the charity of your choice (American Red Cross, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and more).
- Just Be a Geek Who Gives – This Slideshare presentation from Beth Kanter – a leading voice for nonprofit tech/social media – will illuminate and steer your online influence in new ways.
And, of course, the GiveList! Thanks, Qui, for the great list!

You bet, sister! A bunch of folks added additional ideas, no surprise! I keep thinking of others, too. And I bet the list will be a mile long (figuratively) next year, as more nonprofits tap the social Web for innovative ways to connect. Seems like a more in-depth, year-round round up would be helpful (as a wiki).
The GiveList is terrific! Want to see it in Times Square.
