How to Give to Charity for Mother's Day
If you're not sure how to honor the special mothers in your life on Mother's Day, consider setting aside material gifts and making a contribution to a charitable organization instead. Making a contribution in the name of your mother or another mother in your life shows her that her nurturance and caring have affected you.

Make a contribution in the name of all mothers if you want to honor motherhood in general with your contribution rather than the mother in your life. Organizations fighting women's diseases, helping battered women, promoting the rights of women and children and engaging in nurturing acts are all appropriate for Mother's Day.

Consider taking a political stance with your contribution. For example, making a contribution to a group fighting to keep abortion legal can emphasize that even mothers support choice. If you're making this contribution as a Mother's Day gift, make sure the woman you're honoring shares your political views.

Alert the organization that you're contributing for Mother's Day, and let them know if you're doing it in someone else's honor as a gift. Provide them with a mailing address for the special mother in your life if you want them to send out an official card announcing your gift.

Write a note about your contribution in the Mother's Day card you send so she knows what your gift is.
