Donate to charities via online shopping

Charities are obviously a great and necessary thing.

But with so many organisations, persons and things needing assistance, sometimes the pressure surrounding our own life prevents us even contemplating how to help out on a volunteer basis. 

We have recently become involved with a Charity called "Samjoden- Nothilfe" - which is a charity that fosters and adopts the nordic dog breeds into Germany. Their dedication to ensuring the dogs are fostered correctly and appropriately is admirable, and it seems that most of the people running the organisation are volunteers themselves.

While we plan to foster and eventually adopt another husky, I have been supporting the charity through a really fantastic link, which enables one to donate through online purchases. It doesn't come directly from you, but rather the business has an arrangement, which then passes the donation on from your purchase. It is called "we can help" and the link for the Samojden Nothilfe is directly here:


For example, I now buy all my Deutsche Bahn tickets through the link, and the Deutsche Bahn then passes on a donation of €0,90 up to €4,50 depending on the type of fare. Ikea also have an arrangement of donating 9% of your purchase, and there are many many more businesses with this arrangement.  

So the next time you are needing to make an online purchase and like the idea of helping out a charity directly, use the link and see the donations grow!
