UPDATE – The Giveaway is now CLOSED
Let me tell you a little about Charity Voice, but before I do I feel the need to share why I normally do not talk much about survey companies.
I receive numerous requests about alternative ways to earn money online. While there are many survey companies (some reputable ones I have shared in the past), I hesitate to talk about a lot of them because many are crappy, spam you, sell information and require you to jump through hoops to earn points, enter sweepstakes, etc. before you can even think about getting anything out of it.
Charity Voice caught my eye because of the philanthropic angle. The parent company has many years of research experience and when the owner’s dog passed away from cancer, they were driven to make a difference in the ways charities can earn revenue while providing exceptional research results. They created AllieSmiles and then the birth of Charity Voice.
I am so excited to be partnering with Charity Voice because in this economy it is getting harder and harder for people to give to the charities that so desperately need our help. Charity Voice allows you to not only earn money for yourself, but you can also choose to donate it to your favorite charity. How easy is that? You can donate to many well-known charities such as Juvenile Diabetes, American Cancer Society, ASPCA, Red Cross, Big Brothers/Big Sisters and many more. You can even contact them to see about having your favorite charity added to the list.
Brands and businesses NEED market research to improve their products and services, so they pay for it. In return, Charity Voice pays you – CASH (not sweepstakes entries or points or credits) - via Paypal for the surveys you complete. You even earn $5 just for joining. Because their parent company are researchers themselves, they comply with all the laws governing privacy and spamming.
When you register, you actually choose how often you want to be contacted and you can opt out at any time. You participate anonymously and will not be contacted by any of the companies or have to sign up for future mailings or offers. You will receive invitations to participate in a survey, or you will see available surveys in your dashboard – look I had $5 worth right when I logged in:
If you qualify and complete the survey, you will receive reward dollars which you can cash out to paypal or donate when your account reaches $25. You can decide each time – keep some, donate some. Many surveys will pay $2, $5, $10, $25 or more depending on survey length and level of respondent required. Your account is typically credited within 7-14 days after completion of the survey. Luckily you only have to go through a couple questions in order to find out whether you qualify. Now some of them are long – 20 minutes is really close to that, but one of mine was all about ice cream brands.
So if you have some time online and want to earn some money for you or a charity, or if you just want to provide feedback to help shape future brands and improvements, join Charity Voice now and be sure to look for the confirmation email to complete the registration process.

I joined and I like ASPCA
Joined! This is such a wonderful idea, I always used to donate to the ASPCA as a kid; however as a college student spare change is nonexistent. I am happy for the opportunity to donate once again to the ASPCA.
Joined Charity Voice for American Red Cross.
I joined Charity Voice a few days ago and just remembered to confirm today. The charity of my choice is the ASBAH which is the Association for Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus. My sister has Spina Bifida and is 45 years old and still going strong (yes, sis, you will always be older than me, Ha, Ha)
Charity voice sounds great!
Liked them on FB and shared a link for your giveaway on FB!

Thank you for recommending this survey site. I just joined and am interested in Feeding America as a charity!
I joined and would choose Habitat for Humanity.
Ladies, Thank you for joining Charity Voice!!! As the founder of Allie Smiles, I created Charity Voice Online so that I could make a difference in the world myself. Thank you Maven of Savin for the amazing accolades and inviting your followers. We all win and indirectly you are helping to put money back into important causes that are directly fighting for the lives of others. It’s impossible to have a bad day when you know you’re giving back. Taking online surveys for reputable companies shapes the products we buy, services we use and in this case creates awareness about not for profits.
Wendy Lord- thank you for making me aware of ASBAH- I will personally look into inviting them to be a recipient of our donation dollars!!!
It’s all about CHANGING THE WORLD one person and one dollar at a time!
Allie’s Mommy

I would definitely throw my support in for the American Cancer Society. As my late daughter who passed from brain cancer would say:
Cancer Sucks
In memory and honor of Olivia Grace…the bravest person I’ve ever known.
