Every gift matters


Any size gift can make a difference:


$20 fills a van with sandwiches the Covenant House delivers to homeless children on the streets


$25 supplies food for a month for a Canine Companions for Independence dog in training


$35 helps Meals on Wheels Association of America feed and check on the welfare of 5 seniors


$50 lets Foster Care Support Foundation buy winter coats, hats and gloves for 2 foster children


JustGive Founder and Executive Director Kendall Webb comments, “The economy is sputtering, people are struggling, and the need is great. We’re hoping people open their hearts and make charity their gift of choice this year. Discovering that giving less ‘stuff’ really does mean more for those in need. And by example, inspiring others to do the same!”


To spread the message of charitable giving as widely as possible this holiday, JustGive has partnered with the national Redefine Christmas movement, encouraging people to reconsider their gift giving habits. JustGive has also joined three charitable competitors to issue the $51 Bucks Challenge, asking consumers to redirect 10 percent of their holiday spending ($51) and give charity gift cards to raise money for nonprofits in need.


San Francisco-based JustGive, founded 10 years ago by Webb, a Harvard graduate and former Silicon Valley dot.com executive, has sent more than $130 million to over 65,000 charities in the past decade. For every purpose and occasion, JustGive is the only Web address donors need for online giving. They can give when, how and as often as they want through many giving options—direct and memorial donations, charity gift cards, wedding gifts, gift collections, and fund-raising registries.


The destination for online charitable giving® and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, JustGive has been recognized by Forbes as one of the Best of the Web.
