Products That Give Back Don’t Always Come In Pink.

This holiday season (as well as every other day of the year), shoppers can combine their gift shopping with their charitable giving at one web site, Filanthropists.com. This new online shopping mall only offers “Products That Give Back,” much in the same way that the “Pink” products created for Susan G. Komen for the Cure® benefit breast cancer.

Filanthropists.com hosts more than 50 charitable and nonprofit organizations, such as American Forest, Autism Speaks, Born Free USA, Suicide Awareness Voices of Education, Cancer Schmancer Movement, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Sea Turtle Restoration Project, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, Pets of the Homeless, and PETA to name a few. On the site, shoppers will find over 150 fun and unique products that give back across an ever-expanding range of product categories that include jewelry, fashion accessories, handbags, cosmetics and beauty products, home accessories, toys, books, stationary, music, and even wine.

A sampling of these products include Swarovski® Red Crystal AIDS Ribbon Pin, The Sound of Music Pop-Up children’s book, a signed copy of Kristin Chenoworth’s CD: “A Lovely Way to Spend Christmas,” Mountain & Sackett Italian silk ties, “Ocean Traveler” Sea Turtle Pendent in Bronze, Tumba the Gorilla plush toy, a replica of Dr. Zahi Hawass Explorer’s Hat, Yoga for Cancer DVD, and the Peace Never Tasted So Sweet Cookbook.

Filomena Laforgia, Founder/CEO of Filanthropists.com said, “As a mom of a son with Autism, I understand the importance of cause-related products and why today’s consumer wants to make a purchase that has a purpose. My hope is that my site will help charities and causes raise the money they need to continue their good work. Filanthropists.com is the perfect way to accomplish this, because we all have things to buy and causes to support.”
