The Giving Machine

I just thought I'd write a little post about the Giving Machine, to try and promote it :)

Basically, the Giving Machine is a website that donates a percentage of what you buy online to charities of your choosing. There are loads and loads of retailers signed up to the Giving Machine, and as long as you buy from the retailers' websites after following the link from the Giving Machine to their site, a percentage of what you pay will go to charity.

For example, if I were to buy something from Amazon, I could follow the link from the Giving Machine's website to the Amazon website, then do the normal procedure to pay, then whatever percentage Amazon have agreed to pay to charity, will get donated. I have already chosen my charity to donate to, my local branch of the Riding for the Disabled Association, and so the donation will go there, at no extra cost to me.

There are loads of companies on there, including Ebay, New Look, Miss Selfridge, iTunes, the Apple Store, and loads more - even some travel & holiday companies. I think it's definitely worth checking out to support your charity :)
