Not too long ago, I blogged about FreePledge on my personal blog. But if you missed reading that, FreePledge is a site that helps you support your favorite causes and non-profit organizations at no cost to you. FreePledge provides you with a new and innovative way to fulfill your charitable intentions when you shop for books, videos, CDs, electronics and other goods and services online at your favorite stores.

How does it work?

When you shop through FreePledge, you buy from the same retailers, pay the same prices, and get the same products and services. FreePledge is paid a commission and they give 100% of the listed donations back to non-profit organizations of your choice. And the amount of donation depends on how much you spend online. You can use the Donation Estimator to find out how much you can donate every year. Every penny makes a difference!

And there are 168 retailers and 189 non-profit organizations to choose from!

What’s new?

In conjunction with Mother’s Day this May 13th, FreePledge teams up with a host of retailers so that you can make a gift TWICE: Once to your Mum, and once to your (or her) favourite non-profit organization. Check out the Mother’s Day Store for a list of participating retailers and how much you will be able to donate to your favourite non-profit organization. Or Mum’s.

Yes, at no extra cost.

And yes, Mum will be delighted :)
