Ways to Donate From The Bottom of Your Empty Pockets
In a perfect world, we’d all be able to write out big checks to every charity, drop change in every cup, or say “Yes” every time we’re asked for a dollar at the checkout stand. But the reality is, many of us have had to cut back in recent years, and that includes our charitable donations. Luckily for those of us pinching pennies, some smart companies have come up with amazing ways for us to 
donate money to worthy causes without actually putting out a dime of our own money. The money has to come from somewhere, of course, and in the case of each of these programs, we can thank the charitable-minded execs at some big companies who can spare a little cash for a great cause. But you need to do your part to get the bucks from the company to the charity! Check out some of these amazing cause marketing programs that don’t cost you a cent.
