I have $1.00

1. Go get one of those old coffee mugs in the back of your kitchen cabinet. Put the $1.00 in it, and put the mug on your desk. When you have $5.00 come back and click on that option.
Q. That's not what I expected. Why don't you have something for me to click on?
A. Giving $1.00 on the internet doesn't work so well because it's hard for the whole amount to end up in the cause's pocket. So we think you should hold on to it for now and accumulate more. Or use it locally where you can hand it directly to someone or some group that you'd like to support.

2. Put the dollar in your pocket. Next time you see a kid with a lemonade stand, buy one and make his/her day. Or next time you see someone fund-raising locally--maybe outside your supermarket or downtown--buy a cookie, brownie, raffle ticket. Too many times we just walk on by, but if you've allocated a dollar already, you don't have to think. Just do it.

3. Buy a button and wear it to support a cause. Don't just wear it. Know about it-- so if someone asks, you can explain. Buy your button locally or check out Etsy and do a search for buttons there.
