HELP
US SEND $300,000 TO CHARITY!
We are in
the process of raising $10,000 from our JustGive users to help us
continue passing 100% onto charities! You have sent over $1,000,000
through JustGive.org to thousands of charities, but in order to continue our
service, we need your help! With $10,000, we can send over
$300,000 to charity, as JustGive pays 3% on each donation made through
our website.
So that you can
see the impact of your donation to JustGive, we have created a
meter to monitor the donations made to us. Every dollar makes a difference
for us! Thank you for supporting
JustGive. Your donation to JustGive has a ripple effect that has a great
impact with every dollar added.
