Do You Have Five Seconds for a Cause?
posted by: Rebecca Young 101 days ago
I wonder how many times we click on the computer every day. Hundreds? Thousands? How many of those clicks really mean something?
Every week tens of thousands of people take just a few seconds out of their day to click for a cause on Care2. And those clicks are not symbolic -- each click generates a real cash donation from sponsorships, and Care2 pools all of these donations to give to our nonprofit partners.
When you click to sponsor children in need, your click helps more than you can imagine. Because of all of the people who click every day, Care2 has been able to sponsor 14 children since 2004 through Children International and we have just sponsored two more, Fridah in Zambia and Santanu in India. Sixteen children in countries around the world now receive medical care, school supplies, clothing, sturdy shoes, tuition for education and so much more because you click.
Care2 just launched a new look for the click to donate site, and the changes are not just cosmetic. The back end of the site has been completely reengineered to make it faster for users, and easier for Care2 to maintain and keep up to date.
With this redesign Care2 has kept all of the existing causes you can click for and added a "Click to Protect Threatened Wolves." This new click for wolves comes none too soon, as the first-ever state regulated hunt of gray wolves in the continental United States began this week in Idaho. Hundreds of wolves could be killed, but our partner Defenders of Wildlife has joined with 12 other conservation groups to challenge this hunt in court. Defenders of Wildlife has been a leader in wolf conservation since wolves first appeared on the federal endangered species list, and played a crucial role in the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho in 1995. Every day you click for wolves you generate a real cash donation to help Defenders of Wildlife protect Idaho's wolves, end aerial hunting in Alaska, and continue efforts to expand wolf recovery in the Northern Rockies.
I estimate someone could click through to Care2's click to donate site and click one of the buttons in five seconds. Anyone who is online can spare four seconds. And now that the site is considerably faster, you can easily click on all of the causes in under a minute.
So ... can you spare a few seconds today? Visit http://www.care2.com/click-to-donate/ and make a real difference for a cause!

I do about 36 click-to-donates per day, plus the Daily Actions Monday to Friday... all of which usually takes me less than 10 minutes. That's all the Care2 races and several other sites that were once a daily action here.
I feel terrible when my modem's down due to a power outage or something and I miss my clicks.

Clicking to donate is my daily "prayer"! If I miss it during the day, I click at latenight. Plus I click for same causes on other sites as well-sometimes from several computers not always logged in); try to do so when on vacation or travelling abroad.
LOVE the new format - especially the changing pics. Would suggest that the important stories be on the first screen of each cause-not after clicking (just a suggestion). TY for your wonderful work.
May we all be rewarded with growing best results.

I've been clicking for food to feed homeless and abused animals for 2 years now. It constantly reminds me that it not only takes a village, it takes an entire world.
