Filomena Laforgia, Founder/CEO of Filanthropists.com said, “Developing and selling ‘cause products’ has become a highly viable way for organizations to engage in fundraising. Among the best known “cause products” today are the “Pink” products created for Susan G. Komen for the Cure® or the “Red” products created to support The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. There are thousands of nonprofit organizations as well as independent companies selling cause products to benefit their charities and causes of choice. Filanthropists.com was founded with the intent to create a marketplace for all nonprofits engaged in e-commerce fundraising by uniting them into a one-stop shopping experience for the socially conscious consumer.”
Ms. Laforgia, continues: “Tough economic times are especially hard on charities and nonprofit organizations because holiday shoppers are forced to reevaluate their personal gifting versus charitable giving; Filanthropists.com is a great solution to balancing this out. Every product we feature is affiliated with a charity or nonprofit organization, so shoppers can feel good knowing that while their gift is bringing happiness to the recipient, it’s enabling charities and nonprofits to continue their good work.”
