What are Alternative Gifts?
· A Gift purchased in honour or commemoration of a person or event
· Instead of giving a box of chocolate or flowers to Aunt Mary, you can choose to invest in one of these local or world need projects by contributing to one of them in her name.
Why Alternative Giving?
· Because so many of the world’s critical needs are going unmet
· Because of our need and capacity to give
· Because Uncle Harry doesn’t need yet another silk necktie
Why Alternative Gift Markets?
· Because they are a celebration of abundant life for all of the world’s people
· Because they are an appropriate nonprofit response to consumerism
· Because they have raised millions of dollars for the world’s needs, nourishing peace in our global neighbourhood |
