Microdonations to Japan

[asterroc]

If you can't give big, give small.

• Text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to the American Red Cross
  
• Shop Amazon using this link to donate 4%+ to Mercy Corps. (Mercy Corps gets a referral bonus of at least 4%, depending upon how much you spend.)

If you have other good links for small donations, let me know and I'll add them.

And if you can't give small, pass this information on.

Good point on small donations online. I think for many people donation by text has a lower energy barrier to get over though, which is the main reason I mentioned it.

oh, absolutely. this works especially well when combined with conventional meatspace advertising (you see a sign saying to text to donate, and you can do it right then before you forget). still, online payments can be fairly convenient (at least competitive with the Amazon thing) and reasonably micro, so it seemed worth mentioning.

I personally found it works really well with podcast ads. I listen to podcasts while driving somewhere, and when I get there I whip out my cellphone and donate. For people who listen on their cellphones it's even easier.
