Internet offers new avenues . . .
The world-wide reach of the Internet has opened a new avenue for charities to promote their good works, and to solicit volunteers and donations without expensive fundraising. Practicing philanthropy on line works a number of ways. Charities have their own Web pages, and charity listing services handle donations across the country. Charity shopping malls also have popped up, offering shoppers a chance to make purchases and they will donate a percentage to a chosen group. Donors can sit at home and surf the Web to find charities that move their hearts.
