The people who think they already have it all or those who hate crowded malls and extended shopping sessions now have an amazing alternative. Shift My Gift initiative aims to help 1.2 million charitable organizations by raising donation from the people who are eager to give up their gifts for a noble cause.

The entire mechanism is simple but very ingenious and effective. Shift My Gift redirects the money your close friends and relatives would have spent on your gift with an appropriate donation made to nonprofits that struggle to attract financial support.

The strategy provides funds to these organizations while annihilating the environmental footprint of your winter holiday gifts that could reach a considerable rate if we take into consideration only its manufacturing process and transportation. Plus it saves us a lot of time, and money otherwise spent on gas, cards and wrappers.

You can let your close friends know that this year you plan to be one of the most active philanthropists though Twitter, Facebook or email. Enjoy your new eco-conscious Christmas spirit, the nonprofits definitely will.
