Give Freely is a new venture from Steve Kaufer, the co-founder and longtime leader of Tripadvisor, and it's a mission-driven company that taps into the power of e-commerce for good. The debut launch from Give Freely is a shopping assistant that helps online shoppers find discounts and donate to the charities of their choice while they shop online.
The donations are generated from retailer-paid affiliate marketing sales commissions, which other coupon companies would pocket as a profit, but Give Freely is devoted to putting 100% of every affiliate dollar to the user's chosen charity.
At launch, Give Freely has announced eight special charity partners, including The Multiple Sclerosis Society, March of Dimes and The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
