Post-Election Holiday Gift Guide
American consumers will spend an average of $935.58 this holiday shopping season. Instead of spending our money on material gifts, let’s put it towards supporting causes that are important to us. Whether we ask friends and family to donate in our names or make the donation ourselves, here’s a list of organizations that could use our support.
What you can do1. DONATE now or set up a monthly donation. Monthly donations give organizations a steady, predictable source of income allowing them to plan further in advance, and increase their membership count and lobbying power.
