Donate to Charity for Mother’s Day<\/h3>\n

What better way to show your mom you care than by showing her you care about other people, too? For Mother’s Day, donating some moolah in Mom’s name is sure to make her smile. Here are some of my favorite charities to donate to for Mother’s Day:<\/p>\n

Claire’s Place Foundation<\/a><\/h4>\n

– Claire Wineland<\/a> is a fantastic young woman with a fantastic charity that supports families living with Cystic Fibrosis. A donation to Claire’s Place is a donation to more smiles, laughs, and love in the world.<\/p>\n

Kiva<\/a><\/h4>\n

– A Kiva gift card is one of the best Mother’s Day gifts for moms that care about other people (a.k.a. every mom!). With a Kiva gift card, Mom can choose to give a micro loan to people around the world. When the loan is repaid, she gets to choose another! It’s the Mother’s Day gift that keeps on giving!<\/p>\n

Heifer International<\/a><\/h4>\n

– What mom doesn’t want to donate some adorable baby chicks or a goat? With Heifer International, you can make a difference in someone’s life. It’s a fantastic Mother’s Day gift!<\/p>\n
