If you can feel the charitable bone in your body aching, maybe you should sign up for Pink Dingo. Pink Dingo is a new [charity site](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spark-financial) that lets you make a group donation to a new charity every week.

Each week, Pink Dingo highlights an issue and seeks out the best charities that work to fix it. Those charities are compiled into a list of three, which can be voted on by you and other Pink Dingo members. The winning charity gets the spoils: a $3 donation per member. A private beta test is underway now, with the site reporting that 3,100 members have already signed up and donated more than $72,000. If you're in need of some karma points and have a tight budget to work with, this may be the site for you.
