Do Good Stuff

“We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.”   - Winston Churchill

Individually and collectively, we can make a difference in this world. This page is a list of carefully 'vetted' sites that give you an opportunity to Do Good Stuff.

The websites listed here are all approved by Mozilla Firefox "Web of Trust."  This means they are free of spyware and viruses.  

The charities involved have all been checked out by www.CharityNavigator.org and are legitimate organizations making effective use of donated funds. 

Click-to-Donate Websites

Sponsors will make donations of money, products or services each time a visitor to the site clicks a certain button or logo.  You will see their advertising, but you do not have to buy to make the donation.  Please bookmark several of these sites and visit and click on a regular basis.  You will be doing a world of good...
