Check out a new online shopping mall that donates a portion of it's profits to charitable causes such as hunger relief, protection of environment, disaster relief, etc. Everytime you shop there, money goes to charity, plus they have discounts for visitors. http://www.buywithcause.com. There are also a couple other similar sites out there... I'm not sure their URL but i'll post again when I remember.

Isn't this section supposed to be for philanthropy related shopping? I don't see how any of these messages, aside from my post (first one), will benefit people, or demonstrate "people in action."

Hi/Happy Thanksgiving, Folks!

"Several years ago I decided to undertake an experiment in awareness and empathy. I made a vow to consistently donate 10% of my income to help end suffering in this world." -D Charneco

What if everyone did this? Mathematically. Picture the aid delivered through intricate branching networks as in the nervous, cirulatory, and respiratory systems. Where there is suffering, the body responds...each cell contributing nourishment... Could this be a simple solution to Buckminister Fuller's challenge: “To make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.” ?

We invite you to brainstorm; share your ideas and opinions on an active movement;experiment in Micro Philanthropy and Conventional; Digital Networking.

The 10% Club.

The link http://www.omidyar.net/group/tenpercentclub is a discussion and interactive workspace group within the 'Omidyar Network' (founded by Pierre Omidyar- the originator of eBay).

Issues currently being explored are donor fatigue, the connecting of endorphin release to giving, the power of digital technology in promoting causes...

Hope to see you there!
B Timbol (Active 10%er, group co-owner).

Feel free to email me any questions or technical issues.

Hi there,

I was wondering if you could add our charity shopping site to your guide - we've been running in the UK on a purely voluntary basis (not for profit or pocket money) since 2003 and have raised tens of thousands of dollars for charity:

Thanks very much!
