Giving Anonymously

I recently learned about this amazing nonprofit organization called Giving Anonymously. Pretty self explanatory, right? The organization is entirely volunteer run, and facilitates giving without strings. Say your neighbor loses their job, and you know they could use some cash. You can contact Giving Anonymously, provide the info for your neighbor and how much you want to give them. GA verifies address info, and sends a check. All they ask in return is that the recipient call a toll free number and leave a message for their anonymous donor.

What a great and fun way to help people. So cool. To learn more about how Giving Anonymously works, read their FAQ.
