Give whilst you shop

If you shop on the internet:

How does it work ?

Dozens of household name retailers and hundreds of smaller businesses have signed up to internet shopping schemes that agree to make a donation to a fundraising cause nominated by the shopper. The money comes from the commission that they pay to the web site that draws you to them.

The donation is typically a few percent of the cost of what you buy (the sites will tell you)

SHAPE has registered with two sites that make donations when you buy from any of several hundred internet retailers (the same ones that you would probably be using anyway)


There does not seem to be any 'catch' in this, but do read the small print. SHAPE does not know who makes the purchases, we just get a cheque for the total donations every month. So thank you in advance !
