Gifts of Compassion, which range from $50 to $130 and come wrapped in a vintage-silk-sari envelope…Aren’t they beautiful?

Ok, so I don’t about you….but, for me, when I feel like giving to a charitable organization, I often don’t know where to turn. There are simply so many amazing, wonderful people and organizations that are truly making a difference in the world….Goddess bless them all…

So I was reading PlanetGreen the other day and my eye stopped on these personalized gift certificates, called Gifts of Compassion, available for purchase online at ABC Home & Planet Foundation.

Basically here’s the idea….

You can buy a donation which range from $50 to $130 and come wrapped in these fabulous vintage silk sari envelopes, and are divided into five categories: Creating Home, Planet Protection, Empowerment, Healing, and Animal Compassion. There are 25 organizations to choose from…that’s a good amount, right? and include Green Belt Movement International, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Rainforest Alliance.

Here’s my favorite part as stated on PlanetGreen, “Your donation goes toward the specific purpose indicated, and not for organizational overhead.”

We love that!

A $130 gift to Chetna Organic, to name one example, will provide a cow to a resource-poor organic-cotton farmer, in the Asifabad region of Andhra Pradesh, India, to help him cultivate the soil. A $100 gift to ForestEthics, which works to protect the mountain caribou of British Columbia in Canada, will support indigenous First Nations community members to care for female caribou while they are pregnant, as well as guard the new calves. ::ABC Home & Planet

We love strategic alliances united in supporting global healing…May it continue!
