  • Best cause-shopping platform?

    I am looking for the best cause-shopping platform where each purchase makes a donation to a worthy cause. I have found two websites that donate to charity every time we shop online.

    I want your advice on both cause-shopping platforms.

    * Why should I pay for my daughter's education when she already knows everything?
    * There are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going.

      I was not familiar with this concept until introduced to it via Amazon Smile, of which I am (so far) a big fan. Basically, 0.5% of every purchase goes to the charity of your choice. I was happy to find that my favorite small charity (Sunshine Kids, which helps cancer kids & their families enjoy life for what it is, and teaches them to define their lives by more than just being patients) was available as an option. I haven't found a place on Amazon's site to see exactly how much my normal purchases have caused to be donated, but it's probably at least $10-$20 by now, thanks to the recent birth of my son & associated purchases. No, it's not alot. But as a charitable option completely on the part of a commercial business, I'm happy & gratified to at least direct some extra money towards a charity that was a godsend to my family/older brother.

        We also do Amazon Smile for Give Kids the World. I don't really even think about it anymore since it all happens automatically in the background.
