Every little bit of giving helps those in need. I wanted to donate to a trusted organization that would use our donation wisely giving to those who need it most. We made a donation to the Red Cross through their website.
We also stumbled across a few companies that are matching contributions to help Haiti. By forwarding your donation confirmation email, they will match your contribution maximizing your contribution dollars. Here are a few of the companies that are matching contributions:
DealNews is matching dollar for dollar up to $50,000 when you email them your donation receipt. Go HERE for more information on the DealNews matching contributions program.
United Airlines is matching dollar for dollar up to $50,000 when you email them your donation receipt - they also reward you with 500 United miles. You can also donate miles to fly aid workers to affected areas. See instructions, which United sent via email:
1. Donate money, and we'll match your donation and thank you with 500 bonus miles: The United Airlines® Foundation will match up to a total $50,000USD in donations you make to these organizations. As both an encouragement and a thank you, we are offering a one-time bonus of 500 miles to Mileage Plus® members who donate $50USD or more.
