About ImportantGifts
|
ImportantGifts is a marketplace for real donation opportunities. It also lets you direct the attention and money of your friends and fans to the causes and organizations you care about, while also earning recognition for your own efforts to make the world a better place.
One key element of ImportantGifts is the opportunity to capture for nonprofits some of the $250 billion that Americans spend each year on birthday, wedding, and holiday gifts - many of which are not fulfilling for the giver or recipient. Most of us just don't need another novelty sweater or set of bath salts to collect dust on the shelf. We want meaning more than stuff. But where do we shop for meaning? Where do we find a more meaningful gift? The media has reported on the growing trend of donation gifts. These charitable donations made in another's name give us a truly meaningful way to say "happy birthday," or simply show we care. You feel good, the recipient feels good, and together we help make the world a better place. ImportantGifts.org makes donation gifts easy. Browse by cause to find thousands of real donation opportunities from outstanding nonprofits or search for your own favorites by name. You can do more than choose a nonprofit, you can choose exactly what your money will accomplish. For $30 you can honor a friend by providing cataract surgery to make a blind person see. For $25, you can preserve an acre of the rainforest. $10 will buy books for children. You can find such donation opportunities as computers for schools, meals for homebound elderly, video cameras for human rights activists, polio vaccines, an hour of a cancer researcher's time. . . Personalized greeting cards announce the thoughtful gift donation you've made in your friend's name. Wish Lists and registries let your friends know exactly what donation gift you would find most meaningful. Profile pages show your favorite causes and nonprofits. A Trophy shelf shows the donations you've made, if you wish. As time goes by, you can see the growing, positive impact you've made on the world. ImportantGifts is the only place people need to learn about, contribute to, get involved with, or volunteer for virtually any cause or nonprofit. In short, ImportantGifts will do for charities what malls have done for shopping. And it will do for shopping something that shopping has rarely done for anyone: elevate our spirits and add meaning to our lives. ImportantGifts has the support of a prestigious and accomplished Board of Advisors. See the list
