Giving to charity through online websites is transforming the game of philanthropy. Now donors of any means can connect with good causes and be sure that their donations, even when small, will have a decisive impact on the world.
Nonprofits can now reach many more donors with inexpensive methods that connect them with millions of potential supporters.
