More Ways to Shop with Purpose!

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Just a few more shopping days left in the holiday season, and if you’re like us, you probably have put it off until the last minute! But that doesn’t mean we can’t still shop with purpose, and there are many ways to support socially conscious organizations with your holiday gifts.

GlobalMojo Comparison Shopping
GlobalMojo Comparison Shopping features tons of stuff that go easy on your wallet. Seriously—33 million products from top merchants like Barnes & Noble, Zappos, iTunes, Best Buy and more? You’re definitely going to find what you need. Just use the GlobalMojo Comparison Shopping button on the upper right hand corner of your GlobalMojo browser.

And remember, during the month of December, 100% of the revenue you generate using GlobalMojo goes to the causes you support. For example, when you spend $100 using GlobalMojo shopping, on average $4.00 will go to your chosen causes. (Estimate only; donation varies based on product and retailer selected.)

For more great ideas on socially conscious consumption, check out three of our favorite partner organizations:

Me to We – www.metowe.com

GlobalMojo is proud to partner with Free the Children and their Me to We brand of socially conscious clothing (i.e. ethically manufactured & sweatshop free!), books, DVDs and other great gifts! When you shop with Me to We, 50% of the profits benefit Free The Children, the largest nonprofit of children helping children through education.  As if that wasn’t enough, do you have a young person in your life that you would love to inspire to be an adventurer? Right now, buy any book through the Me to We Store and a book goes to a child in a developing country.

Oxfam America Unwrapped – www.oxfamamericaunwrapped.com

Oxfam Unwrapped

Oxfam America Unwrapped has a huge selection of gifts you give to those in need. You choose your gift, personalize the included card, and your donation goes all over the world to those who need it most. Give everything from a bar of soap to rebuilding a school.


Change.org – 2009 Holiday Gift Guide

How do you shop for the friend who has it all? Give a gift that benefits more than just the recipient. Change.org’s 2009 Holiday Gift Guide has thousands of socially conscious gift ideas, from range-free dog chews to organic chocolate to a share of local farmland!

Change.org is the leading site for social change, providing daily news and information about important social issues and empowering people to take action.

Are you seeing a pattern here? Use this holiday season to purchase gifts that continue to give back to those most in need. If you’re going to spend money on presents, why not make your money count?

GlobalMojo HolidayFinally, if you want to support Free The Children, Oxfam America, Change.org or any of your favorite causes, be sure to download the GlobalMojo browser and browse with purpose for these great organizations year-round.

That’s good Mojo! Or Happy Holidays from the GlobalMojo team!

Announcing “100% For the Holidays”!

Monday, November 30th, 2009

SEATTLE – American charities have weathered a significant drop in giving this year, and while they’re hoping for a holiday miracle, a recent survey shows they will probably see a decrease in year-end generosity. In light of the economic downturn, only 38 percent of Americans say they are more likely to give a charitable gift as a holiday present this year, compared to 49 percent last year, according to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive to be released Monday. Some of the biggest U.S. charities say they are budgeting for a disappointing Christmas.—The Associated Press, November 16, 2009

Many nonprofits are feeling the pinch from today’s challenging economic climate.  As the excerpt above from the Associated Press poll shows, the tough times are impacting charities’ fundraising efforts and their supporters’ donation levels, even during the traditional year-end season of giving.

However, there is some good news to report: In response to the fundraising challenges faced by nonprofits and schools, during the month of December, GlobalMojo will donate 100% of the revenue generated by our users to their chosen causes!

During the “100% For the Holidays” campaign, starting on cyber Monday, November 30th through December 31, 2009, GlobalMojo will donate 100% of the revenue generated by our users to their chosen causes. After December 31, 2009, 50% of generated revenue will go to users’ chosen causes.

Nonprofits aren’t the only ones feeling the pinch. Consumers are also looking for ways to be generous without spending more than they’ve budgeted for the holidays. Fortunately GlobalMojo offers powerful tools for your holiday shopping, that will help you quickly find exactly what you need (at the best prices) and raise more money for your favorite nonprofit:

We invite you to visit www.globalmojo.com to learn more about the GlobalMojo browser, and how we’re helping nonprofits and their supporters browse with purpose.

Note: If you are a nonprofit or school, please visit our nonprofit services pages to learn how you can maximize GlobalMojo as a free fundraising tool during the holidays and beyond.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Birthday Firefox

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Happy Birthday FirefoxAll of us here at GlobalMojo want to wish the Firefox browser a happy 5th birthday! Five years ago Mozilla debuted what would become one of the most popular web browsers and open source experiments—one that would be embraced by over a billion people around the world.

At GlobalMojo we think very highly of the Firefox browser — so much so that we built the GlobalMojo browser using the Firefox browser code architecture. We couldn’t do what we do without relying on Mozilla’s accomplishments that have proven that open-source software is every bit as good—if not better—than the alternatives. Mozilla has led the way in this effort to create and promote the Internet as an open platform, and we applaud them for their accomplishments.

In addition to appreciating their powerful open source software, we are proud to partner with Mozilla because their values so closely mirror our own — both Mozilla and GlobalMojo believe in the power of technology to enrich people’s lives. Using the Firefox browser architecture as a strong foundation, we have added powerful tools that give people a rewarding web browsing experience while generating money for their favorite causes. We’re also proud to feature the Mozilla Foundation as one of our featured causes (Support Technology With Social Value); if you don’t know who to Mojo for, consider supporting the Mozilla Foundation in their ongoing efforts to make the Internet a better experience for all of us!

Happy 5th birthday, Firefox!
