Shop for Charity

Ranked #105 in Nonprofits, #30,295 overall | Donates to Global Giving

Shop for a Cause

The sites listed on this page give all or a portion of their profits to charity. While donating directly to a charity is the most effective way to give, shopping at sites which give back is a way to supplement that giving! Since we all have things we need to buy, why not shop at places that give back?

NOTE: I list smaller shops that donate as well as larger organizations, and unfortunately can't verify that all of these actually donate to the causes they claim to, so use your own discretion. Also, sometimes shops that formerly supported charity stop doing so, so if you do not see anything on the website saying they donate, assume they do not donate to that cause any more (and if you have time, please leave me a note in the comments so I can remove that shop. Thanks!).

Art vs. Oilspill

All of the artist commissions in this Zazzle shop are being donated to Wildlife Rehabilitation & Nature Preservation Society, Inc to to help wildlife rescue operations along the Gulf Coast in the wake of the BP oil spill disaster. Artist commissions on most products. Zazzle Artists receive at least a 10%, and on most products featured in this shop it is 40% (75% for posters). As well as the posters shown below, you can find mugs, mousepads, cards, shirts, and more. You can also customize most of these by adding text or photos, changing the style, and moving or resizing the artwork (which is suggested in some cases...it appears that they added these to the products in bulk, and so some are not customized to fill the whole product, which is an easy fix that a customer can do using the customization button.)

    Great list that you've created! The only thing that made me a little...upset was the link with the Zazzle shops where you said that they raise awareness and 'sometimes' funds. If they aren't donating their small percent that means they are just making money off of the causes, or that was what I had been informed of a while ago. So that's kind of shady, in my opinion. Otherwise, I loved the list!

    Thank you for posting this. I understand your concerns and I had some of the same, but choose to list that blog because of the many shops she highlights which do donate. Also, on some which she lists which do not donate, the shop owners are actually people who suffer from the disease, which I don't consider as shady as since at least you are supporting someone with the problem the awareness products deal with. And she's clear about not all the shops donating.

    Still, your comment made me think I should have some sort of warning here about checking sites to see if they still donate (since I can't re-check often, and sometimes places change their policies) and using your discretion, since I don't have a way to confirm that many of the shops listed here actually donate as they say they do. That was something missing that your comment prompted me to ad. Thanks!

    Wow, this is such a wonderful resource. I 'heart' everything here. Imagine if everyone shopped from the above sites - how much we could do for the world?
    A couple of more you might consider:
    - hatsforhunger.com 100% goes to Heifer International CEO started this when he was 9yo.
    - krochetkids.com Hires women in Uganda to make hats, Sells them in the states, Trains the women to start their own businesses [started out as a college project for these guys]
