We want to thank Giving Assistant for sponsoring this post. All opinions expressed are our own.
As a busy Mom of 5 boys I’m always looking for ways to save money, but I’m also always trying to help others out. I have what my family likes to call a caring heart. I don’t talk about it much, and I definitely think I got it from my mother because (as many people will tell you) she would give you the last dollar in her pocket if she felt like you needed it, even if it meant she couldn’t make it home from work that day. It’s just how she is and I love that about her.
Recently I was introduced to Giving Assistant and it really peaked my interest the minute I heard about it.
What is Giving Assistant?
Giving Assistant is a website where you can go to make all of your online purchases while giving back to your favorite charities—AND saving money yourself!
Here’s how Giving Assistant Works
Retailers pay Giving Assistant commission for purchases that come from their website. For those purchases that came from Giving Assistant members, Giving Assistant pays the entire commission as cash back directly and digitally to YOU (the customer/member). If you are not a member and make a purchase then the commission is donated to Feeding America. Members are given the option to automatically donate any % of their cash back to any charity of their choice.
Giving Assistant’s mission is to save you more money, so you can better care for your loved ones and support charity.
Giving Assistant’s Cash Back Promise
Double Cash Back, Always. Giving Assistant will give you 100% of the commission, unlike the other guys with just 50% of the commission.
Payment arrives to you within days direct to your secure debit card. You won’t spend months waiting for a check in the mail like other cash back sites. Minimum payout is just $1, not $25 like the other guys.
Hassle Free Guarantee. Missing cashback? Giving Assistant has the best customer service in the industry to make sure you get your full cash back amount.
I love how Giving Assistant works, and the fact that I no longer have to search the internet for promo codes that only work half of the time. I decided to see how I could save with Giving Assistant. I needed to order a gift for a friend, so I logged into my Giving Assistant account, found the company I was looking for, Christian Book (Giving Assistant has a list of over 1,100 of the largest retailers to shop from and the average cash back is 5%!) Let me tell you, it was so simple! With just a few clicks I was shopping for my gift with a discount code in hand! (The code came from Giving Assistant!)
The only thing I’m upset about is the fact that I didn’t know about Giving Assistant sooner! I sure wish I could have done all of my Christmas shopping with Giving Assistant so I could have earned cash back on my purchases! Now I know how I’ll be doing my shopping from here on out! I just love that all of my favorite stores are right in one spot! I can still use my Amazon Prime to get free shipping on my purchases, but now I can get cash back and discounts as well! (Yeah, I’m doing the happy dance!) My next purchases will be at some of my favorites such as VitaCost and LEGO.com!
I highly recommend bookmarking the page or maybe even making it your homepage so that you don’t forget the next time you are online shopping. It’s quick, easy and rewarding to shop using Giving Assistant!

Giving Assistant sounds amazing. I love the idea of being able to save money and still be able to help those in need.
I totally read part of this wrong. However, I STILL love that I get something back with a program like this. Who knows? Maybe they’ll move into that area as well.
As a mom, I know how important it is to make every penny count. I love that I have the ability to get a little something back from my purchases.
I do most of my shopping online anyways, so this is a no brainer. I need to sign up.
Wow this looks pretty interesting! I will have to try this!
This is such a great idea. I am going to sign up now, I do most of my shopping online.
This sounds like a great way to give back….and to get back. I do a good bit of my shopping online so I need to look into it.
I never heard of giving assistant before.
I will have to look into this, as it is interesting for sure.
This sounds like an awesome system. It has a ton of stores to in its database!
Sounds like a win-win. Something for me and something for a great cause as well. I’ll check it out.
I am going to have to check this place out. I am all for shopping at sites which help give back. Every little bit helps.
The Giving Assistant sounds like something i need to try. I always like finding new ways to help out.
I think Giving Assistant is great! I used it a few times but really need to check it out again and see what I can do with it. I love being able to give to charity too!
How convenient to buy what your family needs and give back at the same time. I think more companies should combine the two!
I’m going to check this out. I am always looking for ways to give back.
Sounds interesting i need to check this out. I always do a online shopping
What a great website. We donate our time and resources to multiple charities. I would love to do so while buying online too.
You’re right about promo codes. They’re nice when they work but half of the time they do not.
This sounds like such a great way to give back and saving money as well.
