Localnoodles is a community of people that individually write about their everyday experiences in Beijing. We benefit from our neighbors insight. As a community leader we feel it is important to set the example and help those less fortunate than ourselves. Write to Give is the plan.

Just write a review like normal and localnoodles and our partners will share a portion of our revenue with organizations dedicated to social causes. There will be six organizations to choose from to ensure your effort helps the cause closest to your heart. There is no cap to the amount we will give. The sky's the limit.
Write to Give is also about you joining forces with responsible philanthropic organizations to make a larger impact. It's an easy, effective way to help your brother without leaving the comfort of the office, living room, or cafe. It can be just that simple and effective.

You won't have to change your life to change another's. With every review you help address the issues you feel most passionate about, including: education, children, women, environment, or sustainable development. It's simple. All you have to do is join and start reviewing local businesses in Beijing. We'll handle everything else.
Every ad you see on localnoodles contributes to the grand total we send to the causes.
