Making microdonations on the Web is a little harder than it once was. Many of the services I would have included in this roundup have shuttered in the past year. In fact, there are just a handful of viable such services left.

Regardless, each of the services listed below will help you connect with the charitable organization (or person) you care about most. You can choose a cause, decide how much to donate, and you’re done. It’s a really simple process. And if you’re in the mood to share, it should be a rewarding one.

Get giving

#BeatCancer Although the #BeatCancer initiative that asked for users to include the hash tag in their tweets to raise cash for cancer awareness is over, the organization’s site still allows users to make donations to four different cancer organizations. They include organizations dedicated to breast cancer awareness, childhood cancer, an organization dedicated to better research, and a group that provides support for cancer patients.

You can use the site to donate whatever you’d like to any of the organizations. You can also get the word out about the organizations by clicking on the “spread the word” option in each donation widget. Upon doing so, your Twitter account will be populated with a link for others to donate to the same organization. It’s a convenient way to be social and contribute to the fight against cancer.
