Give While You Shop Online!

Support the IPC by doing your online shopping through iGive.com 

Quick, Simple, and Free and a portion of each purchase helps the IPC earn dollars

Shopping online for those special items vs. trudging from store to store is becoming a more preferred experience for most Americans. And, what true American shopper still does not like to think they are getting the most for their dollars spent?,The Illinois Poison Center has partnered with a program called iGive.com that enables online shoppers to make purchases from over 750 stores you probably already shop. As a result the merchant from where you purchased your items will make a donation to the IPC.

iGive.com is totally free.

It is quick, simple, and FREE. Almost a no-brainer way to help the IPC earn dollars to cover costs. FREE membership. Great deals. Plus, you get access to free shipping deals and exclusive coupons on top of the every day great deals. You can find great stores like Amazon.com, Pottery Barn, Lands' End, Staples, Petco, Expedia, eBay, QVC, and many more on iGive.com. See the complete list on the website. You will be amazed. A donation to the IPC will be made by the merchant based on your purchase. And, you won’t spend a penny more. 

What's the catch?

There isn't one. And, no "spam." Just total member privacy. We have tried it and it is easy and a great way to stretch your dollar. Returns are simple too just in case more than one person did the shopping!

iGive.com was established in 1997 with the goal of changing all consumer transactions so that a portion of each purchase can benefit worthy causes close to home. Over $4 million has been raised.
