This Fundraising Platform Lets You Give Back While Online Shopping
Alyson Wyers — June 30, 2016 — Social Good
This fundraising platform allows people to give back while shopping online. Ching is a socially conscious startup that lets you shop for hand-picked deals while also making a difference.
Ching delivers promotions to your email inbox and when you purchase something based on their links, the retailer donates a small percentage to your chosen cause. This gives the fundraising platform insight into your preferences as a consumer and educates them on the sort of deals consumers are interested in. An average of 3% goes to one of nine chosen charity partners including ASPCA, Charity:Water and No Kid Hungry. Ching will also be doubling all donations received throughout the month of July.
This model allows customers to create change not by donating any of their own funds, but by actually saving money.
