A Whole New Kind of Gift-Giving

Americans are about to spend $100 billion on traditional presents. A new nonprofit website: ChangingThePresent.org now provides an exciting alternative.

(PRWEB) November 28, 2007 -- In the next few weeks, Americans will be spending $100 billion buying gifts. Unfortunately, some of that money will be wasted on things like unwanted fruit cakes and slippers.

Kid Reading - First Book

Now, there's an exciting alternative.

At ChangingThePresent.org, a new nonprofit website offers donation gifts, which help make the world a better place. The opportunities are inspiring. For instance:

For a mom who loves to read:
Bring the magic of five new books for children in need, from First Book so they can learn to read and set out on a path to success. ($15)

For a brother who is into sports:
Fund a sports jersey for a disabled athlete, so he can join a team and look as competitive as he plays, from the United Spinal Association. ($30)

For a best friend and animal lover:
Provide infant care for an orphaned mammal and preparation for life in the wild. ($65)

For a father-in-law who likes to garden:
Supply seeds and tools for a family, so they can grow their own food and create a sustainable future with the International Medical Corps. ($25)

For a boss who lives on coffee:
Help save a cloud forest with Root Capital. Support a fair-trade organization that ensures the sustainable growth of 40 acres of coffee, creating both economic and environmental benefits. ($35)    

With over 1,000 gifts, from $2 to $5,000, from hundreds of leading nonprofits, it's easy to find an inspiring gift for everyone on a holiday list.

It's also easy to share them. A customized printed greeting card can be sent right from the site, with an inspiring photo and description of the gift.

Just imagine the impact people can make together as this new kind of giving catches on!
