Help the Red Cross with its relief efforts in Samoa or donate towards a learning centre on Stewart Island. These are some of the causes your Christmas gift could contribute to.
Givealittle is an online giving platform run by a Wellington-based company allowing you to donate to hundreds of causes and organisations.
Anyone can go online at any time, browse the categories of causes and make a donation of the amount they chose. This Christmas you can give others the opportunity to be a giver by purchasing them a Givealittle voucher instead of that novelty egg cup.
You can buy vouchers online and chose to have them emailed or posted to the recipient. Or if you prefer to recieve the printed voucher yourself—perhaps to give with the egg cup—you can find out more here. Having them mailed to you also gives you the option of designing your own voucher.
The recipient of the voucher can go onto the website and chose where to donate the money from among 700 causes.
