Small change can make a bigger difference than it looks like it should. A few cents at a time doesn’t feel like much on its own, but when enough people round up together, it adds up to something real.
That’s the idea behind Round Up for a Child, a new way to support CAJA of Madison County through RoundUp.org. It doesn’t ask you to rework your budget or commit to a new monthly gift. It just rounds up purchases you’re already making.
How It Works
RoundUp.org connects to a Visa or Mastercard you already use. Every time you make a purchase, it rounds the amount up to the next dollar and sets the difference aside. Once your rounded-up total reaches $10, RoundUp.org sends it to CAJA of Madison County.
$4.25 becomes $5.00. On its own, that 75 cents barely registers. Spread across a month of ordinary purchases, and across everyone who signs up, it turns into real support for CAJA’s advocates.
Signing up takes a few minutes:
- Go to RoundUp.org and select CAJA of Madison County.
- Connect a Visa or Mastercard.
- Keep making your everyday purchases as usual.
- Your purchases round up automatically, and the spare change is donated once you hit the $10 threshold. You also set your own monthly maximum, so there’s no surprise at the top end.
Why It’s Worth Setting Up
Every dollar that reaches CAJA this way helps recruit, train, and support the volunteer advocates who stand beside a child in foster care through their case, making sure that child’s needs are heard and their best interests are represented in court.
Round Up for a Child works alongside a direct donation, not instead of one. For anyone whose budget doesn’t have room for a new monthly gift right now, it’s a way to help using money you’re already spending. If a one-time or recurring gift is a better fit for you, you can also give directly on CAJA’s Donate page.
