Who and What is IsMyCharity.com?
IsMyCharity.com is the brain child of Chris Boufford. Chris
saw the online economy eroding bricks-and-mortar companies' grips on
local economies. He sees in this a two-edged sword.
On the one side it allows consumers the convenience
of shopping from home, shopping the best prices and products and the
convenience of home delivery.
The other side, though, is that the money earned
locally does not stay local when an internet company in another state,
or even another country processes a transaction.
What
IsMyCharity.com offers is a way to keep at least a portion of
those internet purchases local by dedicating a portion of your internet
purchases to the charity of your choice through a mechanism called
affiliate marketing.
IsMyCharity.com
has affiliations with hundreds of online merchants, many of whom
are already familiar to you. Through those affiliations and
special tracking codes embedded in the merchants' links. IsMyCharity.com is paid
commissions based on sales generated through the links on our
sites.
The tracking codes also enable us to track the sales
from individual subsites
(i.e.,"<yourCharity>.IsMyCharity.com"). YOUR PRIVACY IS
ASSURED BECAUSE what we don't do however, is monitor purchases on a
personal basis. This means we do not know who you are, nor do we
need to know in order to direct some of your purchase money toward your
charity of choice. You can tell us who you are, ask
questions, suggest merchants, or just "shoot the bull" anyway, if you
want to, by e-mailing Chris.
Find your
product, find your merchant, find your best price, then come to us and
find your charity's sub-site.
Click your chosen merchant's link, and make your purchase.
You'll pay the same price, and a portion will go to your charity of
choice.
