Donating directly is just one way to give! Do any of these internet profiles fit you?
The Savvy Shopper
If you hunt for deals or buy groceries in bulk online, then Amazon Smile and Goodshop can help you turn your shrewd shopping into donations.
Amazon Smile will donate 0.5% of eligible purchases to any charity you choose. (It adds up over time!) Sign in to your Amazon account, then go to smile.amazon.com. Click to choose your charity, and search for “Last Bell Ministries.”*
Remember to start each shopping session at smile.amazon.com, not the Amazon home page.
Goodshop is for the serious bargain-hunter. Go to goodsearch.com/goodshop, then create an account and choose a charity to support. Check each store’s profile on Goodshop to see if it donates to charity or only offers coupons. Popular stores like Apple, Target, Keurig, Bed Bath and Beyond, REI, and Home Depot are included!
The Professional Information-Gatherer
If your job, vocation, hobby, parenting, etc. leads to a lot of internet sleuthing, Goodsearch would be a quick way to generate donations. It’s a search engine like Google or Bing, and it’s powered by Yahoo! so you’ll get mainstream results. Go to goodsearch.com, then sign up and choose a cause. You’ll find us under “Last Bell Ministries.”
Each time you use goodsearch.com for a search, Goodsearch will donate about a penny. A frequent user could generate $10 or more per month.
The Generous Merchant
eBayers, did you know about eBay for Charity? Sellers can donate a percentage of sales to the charity of their choice. Visit ebay.com/rpp/charity-sellers and search for “Last Bell Ministries.” Then choose the charity badge when you’re listing an item.
eBay pros should find this easy and intuitive.
No matter how you’re donating to Last Bell, thank you! You’re helping us create a community of hope for orphanage graduates in Zhytomyr, Ukraine.
*Many websites list us as “Last Bell Ministries / Eastern European Children’s Outreach.” The latter name is our umbrella organization, which was registered with the IRS when we applied for 501(c)(3) status, and is often automatically generated for websites that offer donations to charities.
