Throughout the past year, LearnVest has been working to help thousands of people get their financial lives in order and to maximize the money they have for themselves. That said, being frugal doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give back to the causes that matter to us. We believe that, in addition to helping others, being involved in charity also helps us remember what’s really important.

If you regularly donate money to charity, we salute you. If you feel like your budget is too stretched to hand over a chunk of money, there are still plenty of things you can do to give back to the community—for free.
