Spread the love: Our top 7 fave charities

Looking for a good cause? We’ve got ‘em in spades! These are a (very) few of our favorite non-profit organizations. Spread the love this Valentine’s Day by planning a fundraiser for one (or a handful) of these (or other) fantastic causes.

 

If you love animals

The ASPCA was the first human organization to be founded in the Western Hemisphere, and to this day, it remains one of the best at preventing cruelty to animals, rescue animals in danger, pass laws in support of animal rights and aid shelters across the U.S.

 

If you want to pay it forward

We L-O-V-E Heifer International. Why? Because they are dedicated to helping families in third-world countries help themselves. You know the phrase, “Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for life”? Well, that’s Heifer all over. They allow you to donate farm animals to families, providing them a new way of life rather than just a few meals. 

 

If you wanna help kids

If you’re a fab feminista

Support Women for Women International. The org provides female survivors of war rebuild their lives with tools and resources that help them become stable and self-sufficient providers for themselves and their families.

 

If you wanna save the world

Try turning your attention to the H2O that pours freely from your faucet, then check out charity: water. This non-profit brings safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

 

If you wanna find a cure for cancer
