Find below five ways you can contribute to good causes this holiday.

Microsoft holiday ugly sweater

If you are a millennial, you most likely grew up with Clippy, Microsoft’s interactive Office Assistant for Microsoft Office. You can bring the discontinued feature in an ugly sweater that will get tons of memories while benefiting the College Success Foundation. Microsoft will contribute USD 100,000 to the foundation to assist underserved, low-income students in accessing and succeeding in college.

St. Jude

Do you remember when St. Jude’s first ever all-civilian mission, named “Inspiration4 crew,” took to space last September? Four civilian crew members on this three-day orbital mission took a stuffed dog to space with them, and you can get one too!

Get a St. Jude “space puppy” replica and help the little ones in your family take their imagination to the stars. The hospital also offers holiday gifts with all proceeds supporting kids with cancer.

M∙A∙C VIVA GLAM

On World AIDS Day, M∙A∙C announces a $4 million 2022 donation and kick-off volunteer events in the US as part of the 14th annual World AIDS Day Global Volunteer Initiative. Every year, M∙A∙C Artists and employees volunteer with local HIV/AIDS organizations, showing the world that we are committed to creating an AIDS-free generation, one lipstick at a time. Thanks to consumers purchasing VIVA GLAM lipsticks, sold year-round, M∙A∙C can donate 100% of the selling price to organizations worldwide that impact their local communities.

Cash Transfers for Families

You can send a free greeting card to an honoree with this donation. Your honoree will be delighted to know their special gift will help brighten a child’s future. Cash transfers help families pay for essentials like nutritious food, health care and school costs.
