SocialVest

edit

SocialVest is a cause based shopping platform that connects cause conscious consumers with socially responsible merchants. SocialVest users earn money for their favorite causes simply by shopping at any of hundreds of online and traditional retailers.

How it Works: Shop. Earn. Give

There are two ways to earn money to donate to causes you care about when you shop. Set up an account at www.socialvest.us and either shop through the SocialVest online mall or use one of your registered credit cards in-store when you shop at a participating SocialVest retailer.

Each time there is a product or service purchased from one of SocialVest’s 600 retail partners, the retailer rebates a percentage of the purchase price into a personal Giving Account. SocialVest users have control of their donations and may choose any number of the 1.5 million registered non-profit organizations to impact.
