This spring, get your kids outside and help raise funds for National Wildlife Federation at the same time!
How? The National Wildlife Federation has partnered with KaBOOM!, a nonprofit organization that:
“empowers communities to build playgrounds….We passionately believe that play has purpose, and that unstructured play in particular helps make children happier, fitter, smarter, more socially adept and creative.”
KaBOOM! lists playgrounds, parks, and other community “playspaces” on their website, and is campaigning to add another 100,000 in 100 days.
Join the NWF team and for every playspace you enter, the National Wildlife Federation will earn a $1 donation.

This holiday season, you can save a cloud forest, adopt a tiger and remove 1 ton of CO2. Although none of it will fit in a box or under the tree, Changing the Present makes all these things possible by giving consumers access to a variety of charitable initiatives so that they can give the gift of hope, health and happiness for a world in need.
Some perks include not having to go near a crowded mall, finding something for everyone on your list, and no lines, returns or exchanges. Best of all, you’ll be making a tangible difference in the world with the cause of your choice, and it’s something that will last long after the latest retail trends fizzle out.
Changing the Present features more than 1,500 meaningful charitable gifts that users can browse by cause or nonprofit to find the perfect gift for friends or their own charitable giving.
Building on a commitment to changing the social norm when it comes to gift giving, and seeking to spark positive change in the world, Robert Tolmach, CEO of WellGood LLC, spearheaded the team that implemented this important effort, and was kind enough to share more details about the program with me in a one-on-one chat about the future of giving.
