Givv.org: Monthly giving made easy

I like the look of this charity donation site both from a personal budgeting angle and as a way of retaining some privacy from the hordes of causes desperate for my cash.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not the sort of guy that runs at the sight of a tin rattler but, just like with everything else, there is only so much of the monthly income that can be given away. 

Givv.org provides users who want to stick to a monthly giving budget the platform to do just that. By setting the budget and naming the causes you can forget about all of those separate forms and entries on your bank and credit card statements.

The system will share your monthly payment out amongst the causes on your list until you say differently. You can add to the list or remove any cause and Givv.org will simply adjust the amounts each one gets. This way means you’ll stick to your budget and not simply react to every fundraising request that comes your way.

You can also give anonymously which should cut out a lot of the spam email that seems to be generated when the fundraising community hears of your generosity. Don’t feel guilty; you’re giving regularly which is a noble enough gesture in itself.

Givv.org can also benefit the causes as well. By lumping together all of the cash donated to one cause by separate users the actual processing costs can be drastically reduced meaning more money goes to the cause itself.

If you want to show your friends just who you regularly support you can link your page to the likes of Facebook. Although they won’t see the amounts involved it might just prompt them to make the odd donation and as we all know, every little helps.

Conclusion
This is a great way to streamline your regular giving and boost the possible income available to worthy causes at the same time.
