October’s proceeds will be donated to Food for the Poor.
“Food For The Poor ministers to spiritually renew impoverished people throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Established in 1982 as a 501(c)(3) corporation, our goals are to improve the health, economic, social and spiritual conditions of the men, women and children we serve. Food For The Poor raises funds and provides direct relief assistance to the poor, usually by purchasing specifically requested materials and distributing them through the churches and charity organizations already operating in areas of need”

We always strive to be mindful of the fact that this site is not built for us, or even the causes we serve. This site is about you, our users, and all that goes into fulfilling your shopping needs. We hope to consistently meet them and see how more and more people come back each day, looking to contribute to changing the world one purchase at a time.
After taking a tour around similar sites and sampling online shoppers, we concluded that the most important element this field is missing is simplicity. Lets get this straight, when I browse around the Internet I want to get information, not the other way around. Do not force me to register and spam my inbox and provide other private details unless it is absolutely necessary. There is no need to sign in, activate an account, or remember yet another password here. I believe the best way to serve you is by making the retail sites available in an easily scannable format, while providing category lists and search features for further immersion.
One aspect of design we paid special attention to was how we intend to display advertisements here without degrading your shopping experience with unnecessary banners. As you know 100% of the commissions received through our retailers gets donated to charitable causes, whereas other sites in this field keep as much as half as profit. Since we find their business model simply unacceptable, we have chosen to place carefully selected advertisements in unobtrusive space on the page. Any revenue generated through these placements goes back into the site to pay upkeep costs and the continued development of Clickanthropy.

I started Clickanthropy because my goal in life is to make a difference in the lives of others and therefore make the world a better place. I genuinely care what happens to this unique planet and to the diverse people who live here. Because my work is driven by this purpose and the success of this site, I have a compelling reason to build it into a high-traffic web site, one that aligns with my own personal values. More web traffic simply means I can have a growing impact by reaching more people. And over the course of the next decade, this influence has the potential to positively change lives and conditions on this planet in a big way.
I don’t have a separate job or career other than this company. But I don’t need to play stupid marketing and sales games with you. There’s nothing for you to buy here. Even if I add some ads in the future, I’m not going to try to manipulate you into buying something you don’t need.
A lot has been written about the importance of transparency online, and truth is the best transparency of all. Truth creates trust, and trust builds traffic. Real human beings helping real human beings is ultimately what traffic growth is all about. And that is precisely what a link or a referral to this site is. So please, give us a hand and do your part to make a difference, and we promise to do ours.
