GreedyFools.com Launches "No Cost" Charity Drive

GreedyFool.com, a personal money matters and money saving site, has announced a charity drive to raise $10,000 without it costing a cent for the donors. Unlike traditional charity drives, GreedyFools.com will not ask for any money from the charity drive participants. Instead, the site is utilizing the "free click" programs used by a number of charities to raise money for their causes.

"Many of the people who visit our site are in tight financial situations and are looking to save money any way they can," says Jeffrey Strain, the site's co-owner. "We provide information on how they can accomplish this. Donating to a charity without having to take a penny out of your own pocket fits directly with the saving ideas we promote."

GreedyFools.com has compiled a list of charity sites on the Internet where people can give a no-cost donation with a simple click of their mouse. Most of the free charity click programs work the same way. A person clicks a button (usually limited to one click per day) which will bring up a number of sponsored advertisement buttons. These advertisers make a donation toward the specific cause to have the person look at their advertisement. Although most free click charity sites don't require a visit to the sponsor's site (a few do), the charity sites encourage a visit to their sponsors because the more successful the program is for the sponsors, the more likely they will continue sponsoring the charity involved.

Most people have heard of the bigger free click sites like the http://www.thehungersite.com">The Hunger Site, but there are dozens of smaller sites that use the same system to help raise money for their causes all over the world. GreedyFools.com's list of these sites makes it convenient to donate to a number of them in one easy access area.

Jeffrey Strain believes the lofty goal of $10,000 (or 1,000,000 clicks) is achievable for the small site. "We plan to follow the same strategy our site promotes for people trying to get out of credit card debt," he explains. "Consistently saving small amounts over long periods can have amazing effects with compound interest. We will be promoting the charity drive the same way - by asking people to click for the causes they support consistently over time. We believe the compounding aspect will come from people spreading the word to their friends and aquaintences."
