Hey Everyone! Alright we posted a couple things yesterday on our FACEBOOK page:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Orangutan-Foundation-International/68791616148?ref=ts

about something called CAFE GIVE

What is CAFE GIVE?

Cafe Give is an organization that connects individuals to non-profits through online shopping! sounds crazy right?

Well the holidays are coming up and OFI has teamed up with CAFE GIVE.

This means…
YOU CAN GO ONTO WWW.CAFEGIVE.COM
And search through products. It is almsot like a huge online department store.
WHY?

Because ANYTHING you need can be bought there!!
Apparel, lugguage, books, music, electronics, flowers, food, GIFTS, baby stuff, green shopping, office, home, travel, pet supplies, jewelry/accessories, shoes, healthy/beauty!!

TRY IT OUT!

Go to CAFE GIVE and Click on SHOP! Then do some browsing!!

BUT FIRST!

Make sure that in the upper right corner of your screen you are “EARNING FOR ORANGUTAN FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL”

Here is the main OFI CAFE GIVE page if you want to see us on the CAFE site!

OK, now check out my WIDGETS!

What the H-E- DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS is a WIDGET!!

It’s a little box that you can post ANYWHERE! Like a mobile website. For Example my Steve Madden Widget is on my FACEBOOK page! This means my friends could click on the Steve Madden Widget, buy some GORGEOUS pumps (oooo shoes!) and 4.8% of the purchase will go to OFI!
Each store/brand featured on Cafe Give (like Steve Madden) has a different percentage that will be earned so look at the amounts getting earned through purchases.

As you can see I have 5 widgets already!
iTunes!
Borders!
Flowers!

So this is super fun and something that will be GREAT during the holiday season!

JUST SHOP CAFE GIVE and EARN for OFI

OR!
Get started on your own
Post your own widgets to your own websites.
Make sure the widgets are earning for the cause you care about!
Let your friends and family know to do their online shopping through your widget or through CAFE GIVE and help the cause!

FUN STUFF!!"

Welcome to CafeGive TM!

Welcome to the CafeGive Blog TM! We’re so glad you decided to check out CafeGive. Can you imagine a world where responsible shopping supports the financial needs of a specific cause or non-profit close to your heart?

This is what CafeGive does by matching causes, specific brands/products and responsible online shoppers. We want to bring the virtual world into the real world by combining savvy online shoppers, cause crusaders and do-gooders with widget technology to empower themselves and one another to raise funds for organizations doing great work. CafeGive enables you to create shopping widgets that give a percentage of the purchase price (excluding shipping and taxes) to the charity featured in the widget. We, at CafeGive, want to use this blog to showcase success stories (and maybe some bumps in the road), give a spotlight to our awesome advocates, and just be a place for dialogue between CafeGive and our site visitors.

Please be aware that CafeGive is still in Beta mode and our blog is still in the process of being developed and will be launched with a full feature set soon. Keep checking in for announcements as to when this will be.

So blog roll! Please tell us: who you are, what you do, and what brought you to CafeGive today. Also, if you have any suggestions for our blog we’d love to hear them.
