After spending a dozen years advising charities, from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation down to the smallest neighborhood nonprofit, having 3 children helped me realize something very basic, but very important – giving money to charity may not be the most important or effective way to be charitable.
Why? Because when times are tight, few of us are writing checks to charity with the same frequency and the same number of zeroes as when we feel secure in our jobs and flush in our retirement accounts. And so the “charity” portion of our monthly budget starts to look like discretionary spending that can be reduced, especially in lieu of other, more urgent needs for a growing family. If we think being charitable equals “giving money” then charity can easily fall out of our lives.
(Join the conversation! Share with us how your family gives back to the community and you could win $50 in Moxie Money for telling us your favorite ways to teach your children to be charitable.)

Moxie Jean loves to have our customers purchase the clothes their kids need next using their "Moxie Money." Put simply, Moxie Money is store credit. It comes in the form of a discount code and can be applied to your purchase during checkout.
Right now, you can earn $25 in Moxie Money for every $100 you spend (after discounts). All purchases from July 24 through September 15, 2014 will be added up and Moxie Money will be issued on September 16, 2014 via email.
Spend $100 = Get $25 in Moxie Money
Spend $200 = Get $50 in Moxie Money
Spend $300 = Get $75 in Moxie Money
Spend $400 = Get $100 in Moxie Money
Moxie Money earned through promotions or giveaways may not be traded for cash.
Families can also earn Moxie Money by selling their gently used clothing to Moxie Jean. When you fill and return a Moxie Jean Mailer Bag, we'll send you a check for the payout amount listed here. BUT - we also bump up those cash payouts by 25% when we give them out in the form of store credit - Moxie Money.
So let's say your clothing payout was $30. We'll send you an email with a code worth $37.50 in Moxie Money to spend in the store. You can always cash out that $30, but it's so much more fun to spend it on what your kids need next!
If you earn additional Moxie Money, whether through promotions or additional clothing sent in, we will add it up into a single Moxie Money code. Only one code may be used per transaction.
