Review for Shopping for a Change, San Mateo, CA, USA
Shopping for a Change™ (SFAC) is a business model that provides work for marginalized groups of artisans and a means for marketing their products. That in and of itself helps make the world a better place, but it doesn’t stop there. What makes Shopping for a Change™ different is that they pay the artisans fair wages up front for their products, and then direct half of their net proceeds towards projects for the betterment of those artisan communities. In addition, U.S. based nonprofit organizations can partner at no cost, with SFAC, so when their supporters shop the SFAC site, their charity receives a portion of the net proceeds.
Instead of just shopping our days away, we can make our shopping count, locally and globally at Shopping for a Change - beautiful hand made products from around the globe.
