Wedding Gifts that Make a Difference
Unique Wedding Registry Service Offers Links to More Than
850,000 Charities
The new trend for giving charitable gifts has extended past
corporate donations and holiday gifts. With more and more
people getting married later in life, there is a new trend
for soon-to-be-married couples asking for charitable donations
in lieu of traditional wedding gifts. JustGive.org, a nonprofit
organization dedicated to increasing overall charitable giving
by making it part of our everyday lives, has streamlined this
process by offering a unique online Charity Wedding Registry
for couples looking to create a wish list of their favorite
nonprofit organizations that they would like to help.
"A charitable gift in a couple's name makes a wonderful
and truly meaningful wedding gift," says Kendall Webb,
founder and Executive Director of JustGive. "A lot of
couples nowadays tend to already have the basics for their
homes covered, and they don't really have a need to register
for the traditional dishes and glassware. We've seen a big
increase in the number of people using our Charity Wedding
Registry, as it enables them to offer their wedding guests
a meaningful and personal option for gifts."
JustGive's Charity Wedding Registry allows couples to choose
from any of the 850,000 charities in the U.S., add personal
information about themselves and their wedding, send an email
to friends and family notifying them of their registry, and
access password-protected reports that detail who has donated
to what charity on their registry so they can send out timely
"Thank You" cards. The couple is also notified via
email whenever a donation is made in their name.
Webb says they hear from couples every day, who are thrilled
to find a wedding registry that reflects their values. "One
of the things couples like most about the registry is that
it allows them to choose local charities that are in their
community and touch their lives directly."
They also feature a Charity Wish List service so individuals
can keep track of their favorite charities - answering the
call of the millions of consumers who search feverishly for
the perfect gift, especially around the holidays and on special
occasions.
JustGive.org makes it simple and convenient for people to
get involved with the charities and causes they care about.
Dedicated to offering services and tools to make giving easy,
the site is the premiere destination to visit when trying
to find anything related to philanthropic giving. In addition,
JustGive offers summarized tax receipts at the end of each
year and a personal password-protected account area for individuals
to track their donations.
JustGive has received national media attention for their innovative
tools and services that enable people to participate in everyday
charitable giving. They have been featured on Good Morning
America, PBS, and MSNBC as well as in numerous local and national
publications, including Forbes Magazine, Wall Street Journal,
San Francisco Chronicle, and PC World.
