Every time you view a page, refer a friend, or buy something, you donate money toward your cause. Here's a site that brings new meaning to socially conscious shopping. It features products and companies that are socially conscious, environmentally aware, employee friendly, and community oriented. All types of organizations can use this site. Each group gets its own Web page, where it can post information.
Groups also earn money for ads, Web searches, and purchases that originate on their pages.
But instead of choosing a cause, you select a school. A shopping portal that lets you raise money for a number of nonprofits around the country. Good Idea iGive members can claim a tax deduction on the portions of their purchases that get passed on to charities. The deduction applies only to the part of the purchase that's donated. Besides products, there are also tips, articles, and services to help shoppers get involved in helping others.
