This post brought to you by MusicMagpie Giving to a good cause and helping out a charity is something that everybody should aspire to do, but not everyone knows how to go about doing so.

The 2010 year end is almost here, and hopefully most of us are looking at our finances and asking ourselves a question: “Are we ready for 2011? Is there something we need to do before 2010 ends?” Most of us probably have already done everything from buying Christmas gifts and donating to charities to scheduling [...]

Often times, when a person is picking a charity to donate to or volunteer for, they look at only a few things.  What the charity does, and where it does it.  If they like pets, maybe they volunteer or donate to the ASPCA.  Or, if they want to keep their efforts a little closer to [...]

Here’s the results for the first Charity Book Auction! I was sort of disappointed with the first auction.  The book ended up going for a final bid of $1.25.  I think the smallest donation you can make is $1, so I guess that’s something.  I did get an email from the director of beatingdebt.org thanking [...]

There’s been a bit of publicity lately about The Giving Pledge, an organization started/inspired by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates that is aimed at the Forbes wealthiest 400 people.  They and the organization encourage the worlds wealthy to give it all away.  Or at least a majority of their wealth. Reading about all of this [...]
