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!

Spread The Mojo!

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Here at GlobalMojo we believe that working to make small changes in everyday life can have a collectively huge impact in changing the world around you. Even one person’s efforts can effect a powerful change, and the results multiply exponentially as more people get involved. When we talk about ways to “Spread The Mojo,” we’re talking about using your social network and community to multiply the effect of your efforts and have a greater positive impact on the world.

We want you to join the GlobalMojo community with big dreams – ending homelessness, curing diseases, and protecting the planet—but since no one person can do that on their own, we’ve come up with some easy ways for you to spread the Mojo in your daily life.

Three Easy Ways to Spread the Mojo

1.  Take action to improve your own corner of the world.

Do you have fond memories of spending time at the local YMCA? Was there a teacher who changed your life? Did your favorite pet come from a pet shelter? In short, what organizations have made your life better in some way?

Now that you have identified some worthy causes, go to www.globalmojo.com and click on Search All Causes.  Enter keywords and your city to search over 1.5 million organizations to find those working for your cause, on a local, national or global scale.

The good news is you don’t have to choose just one issue.  You can support up to four charities at once, and decide how much of the revenue you generate they receive.

It’s that easy.  With just a few clicks, you are supporting your community and the causes you care about just by doing what you do every day.  It might not seem like much at first, but when you join a movement of socially conscious users committed to spreading the Mojo, all of those small choices have a major impact.

2.  Ask your social network to support the causes you care about — AND the causes they care about too.

Another great way to spread the Mojo is to get your family, friends, and colleagues involved. If one person can make a positive change; imagine the impact you can make if you get 10, 20 or 50 other people to support your favorite causes using GlobalMojo!

www.globalmojo.com offers two easy ways to spread The Mojo:

Ask a friend to download the browser & support the causes they care about.
Do you have a friend who is active on a local PTA, or a relative who volunteers for a local food bank?  Tell them about GlobalMojo using our email invitations, or by posting GlobalMojo on your social media profiles like Facebook and Twitter. Click here to visit our Tell a friend page.

Ask your friends and family to support the cause you care about.
Go to your “My Causes” page to review the organizations and schools that you currently support. Click Invite Friends, and our simple invitation tools make it easy to invite others to support your specific cause via email or social media.

3.  Spread the Mojo online & join our Social Networks!
A simple way to spread the Mojo is to use social media. You can become a GlobalMojo fan on Facebook, and follow GlobalMojo on Twitter, and then spread the word by inviting your friends to become a fan  as well.
