nonprofitshoppingmasall.com allows consumers to shop online for the things they would normally buy from the brands they would normally choose and at the prices they would normally pay, while making a charitable donation to one of dozens of nonprofit organizations in the process. A portion of every dollar spent online is donated to groups such as Global Green USA, Children's Miracle Network, ASPCA, Feeding America, National Wildlife Federation, Room to Read, Veterans For America and The Conservation Fund. This short altruistic detour makes every purchase count, turning everyday shopping into everyday giving.

nonprofitshoppingmall.com visitors can choose from over 250 brand-name retailers featuring clothing and accessories, home and garden decor, travel deals, health and beauty products, pet supplies, action sports gear and more.
