Working from home means spending more time on the computer.
It also means spending more money: a huge monitor, a fancy, shmancy office chair, and bifocals. Ok, getting old. What can I say?
But it also means I am much more likely to donate money to a worthy cause if donating means clicking a button. Not one to mail in checks to random people or causes, I am much more likely to use PayPal or the site’s “click here” button to send off a donation to someone or something I’ve read about online.
A recent Pew report discusses how young people are not only donating more, they are using their mobile devices to do it. This post on The Nieman Journalism Lab site puts the story in context. It’s a fascinating look into how social media is changing even the world of the nonprofits.

now I know the market to hit up for next years camp Sunshine donation ha
You got it!
I spend way more money when I am home during the summer. Too much time to go spend it, I guess. My favorite charity of choice lately is kiva. It is so easy to give and it seems to really make a difference in a person’s life. I get all excited when part of it gets paid back so I can lend to someone else. :)
Oh, thanks for reminding me. I haven’t visited there in a while, and you are so right about the value.
