Browse For a Cause Firefox add-on donates to charity while you shop online

Filed under: Web services, Browsers

If you're doing a lot of holiday shopping online this year, and you're looking for a painless way to give something back to your favorite charity, consider installing the Browse for a Cause Firefox extension. Instead of asking for donations directly, Browse for a Cause adds affiliate codes to sites like Amazon, and then donates the affiliate fees to the charity or charities you select. That way, you don't pay anything extra, but your donation still helps out your selected cause.

The Firefox extension works behind the scenes. You pick where you want the money to go before you download the add-on, so there are no preferences to set. If your favorite charity isn't listed, you can add it yourself on the Browse for a Cause website. I couldn't find a list of the online retailers Browse For a Cause is compatible with, although Amazon is definitely one of them.
