Improvements on CafeGive

Welcome to the improved CafeGive! We are thrilled to welcome new faces to CafeGive, and we have added quite a few over the months. Welcome to our causes – organizations that have an interest in earning to change the world through programs for families, children, adults, the environment, animals and pets, and their owners. Welcome to our advocates, who have helped us during our beta period to date to understand how to make our mission work. We have this group to thank for the improvements we are making. And to the merchants who have agreed to work with us - here’s to them. We thank them and hope to add to their e-commerce success this holiday.

The site may look a little different to you, as we have made some improvements to our core activity of shopping – just in time for the holidays. The fundamental premise of our promise remains. By shopping online, you can earn a percentage of the purchase for your cause. You can still make a widget featuring your cause and an online store or products you love, and you can still share it through email, social networks or other web sites. The big change is that you can also shop and earn for your cause without making a widget or using a widget. CafeGive recognizes your cause when you come to the site, and the pairing of your store happens anytime you hit the “buy” link under the banner or the “buy now” link in the selected product area. Any purchase you make at the online store you selected by clicking on one of these links or on a widget will earn for your cause.

Let the shopping begin! We are ready for the holiday season with some new fun merchants, some tried and true brands, and with a new CafeGive experience. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think.
