Company Uses Technology To Launch Black Economic Empowerment Movement

Atlanta, GA - African-Americans wield tremendous economic power, spending $640 billion every year. However, despite earnest attempts, the community has not been able to tap into this power for its own benefit. BlackGiving.com has just changed that forever.

Armed with its powerful technology platform, BlackGiving.com enables nonprofits (charities, churches, schools, etc.) that are working in the Black community to receive a portion of online African-American spending every single day, creating a much-needed source of recurring revenue for them. Best of all, it's free for shoppers and nonprofits. While this sounds too good to be true, it is not a dream. Several organizations are already benefiting and BlackGiving.com's goal is to put $40 million dollars back into the community in 2004 alone.

How BlackGiving.com Works:

1. BlackGiving.com has agreements with 120 popular retailers and growing.

2. Shoppers visit BlackGiving.com, select a cause to support, and click on links to visit the featured retailers.

3. A portion of what shoppers spend is donated to their selected nonprofit.

BlackGiving.com Key Points:

1. Always free for nonprofits and shoppers. Donations result from marketing commissions paid to BlackGiving.com by featured retailers.

2. Shoppers give just by shopping as they normally would. Same products. Same experience. Same prices (or lower).

3. Great selection: BlackGiving.com features most popular retail websites.

BlackGiving.com was founded to leverage the enormous buying power of African-Americans to uplift the Black community. The company began operations in 2002 and has established agreements with over 120 of the nation's major retailers. BlackGiving.com donates at least 50% of the gross proceeds that it receives to nonprofit organizations that place a special emphasis on serving the African-American community.

Vince,

Thanks for coming to GC. Please come back to give us updates. My original post was actually a cut and paste from an article thanks to Black news.

There are tons of us on GC and we all shop at least once a week. Some more than others. ;)
