What is "green?"

JustGive and our partners are making a difference by thinking "green." According to the Sustainability Institute being "green" encompasses certain key elements like conservation, responsibility, humanity, community and sustainability.

"Green" isn't just recycling, but redefining how you live. Recycling, for example, includes not only recycling, but reducing and reusing. Instead of recycling all those water bottles, use a glass or stainless steel bottle that is safe to refill over and over again.

JustGive is working to be "green" by not only using recycled paper and choosing distributors that give back to the community, but by creating services and partnerships that help individuals embrace these key elements of being "green." Our wedding registry encourages couples to choose charitable donations over traditional wedding gifts and favors. It's the best way to redirect all this generosity to those who really need it. Giving a dedicated donation or a charity gift certificate for any special occasion or holiday is the best way to inspire greater giving. Now that's "green."

Eco-friendly weddings

World Wildlife Fund
WWF has launched their Weddings & Celebrations Registry to encourage couples to make their wedding both charitable and environmentally friendly.

Portovert Magazine
The first and only magazine for eco-savvy brides and grooms, Portovert, is joining our long-time sponsors, Aveda and Oracle, to be the first sponsor of our Wedding Gift Center.

Making a change

Another great new partnership is the launch of Change.org. Change.org aims to transform social activism by serving as the central platform that connects like-minded people, whatever their interests, and enables them to exchange information, share ideas, and collectively act to address the issues they care about.

Create a change
You can browse by category to find a change or create a new change you want to see realized in the world. Once your change is created, other members can connect, discuss and donate to your change.

Start a network
Giving networks are social giving communities started by members. You can start a giving network to support your change, invite friends, and discuss your change with other members.

Celebrate with gifts of charity
Whether you're getting married or attending a wedding this spring, JustGive encourages you to consider charitable wedding gifts as an alternative to traditional registry items. Personalize your wedding gift and inspire greater giving with charitable donations.

For the couple
Create a registry of your favorite charities on a personalized Web page. Our easy-to-use tools help you announce your registry, view donations or buy wedding party gifts.

For wedding guests
Your charitable gift is a meaningful gesture to honor a couple's wedding day. You can donate through an existing registry or simply make a gift in their name. We'll send a personalized e-card with all donations.

Charity wish lists
Weddings aren't the only special event this spring. Birthdays, anniversaries and graduations are the perfect opportunities for personal gifts of charity.

Create a wish list
Friends and family members can access your list of favorite charities online and make donations in your honor. You can announce your wish and view donation reports at any time.

Give a gift
The gift of charity is a thoughtful way to celebrate a loved one. You can donate through a Wish list or send a charity gift certificate which they can redeem for their favorite charity or cause.
