GivingCart is a fundraising tool. Its mission
is to support approved Catholic parishes or
organizations, auxiliaries connected to the
Catholic Church, and other organizations that
serve the Church.
In response to a sharp decrease of tithing and the coincidental emergence of e-commerce technology, GivingCart helps the Church thrive and grow in the modern world. The potential for revenues generated by GivingCart is virtually unlimited, providing funds for church buildings and grounds, for youth groups, for Catholic elementary schools, for Catholic high schools and colleges, for religious orders, for pro-life leagues, for seminaries and foreign missions.
With a few extra clicks of a mouse, GivingCart can change ordinary internet shopping into timely acts of generosity—a response to Catholic financial needs close to home and all over the world. GivingCart sends out 80% of all funds raised.

About:
How it works:
GivingCart is a website that you shop
through rather than
at. You choose the Catholic
cause that you want to support when you sign up
for a free membership and all funds that you
raise are tracked in Your Account.
GivingCart has a relationship with over 350 stores like Staples, 1-800-CONTACTS, eBay, BassPro Shops, Travelocity ... In order to shop you then click a link to which ever store that you want to shop at, rather than just typing in the simple web address like www.staples.com for example.
By clicking these special links to access a stores website GivingCart is able to keep track of whether or not you buy something. When you do complete a sale, GivingCart is then able to earn a percentage, anywhere from 1%-50% and all the money you raise is reflected in Your Account. Also worth mentioning is that all the money that you raise for your Catholic cause is a tax write off at the end of the year!

Example:
Lets say that 100 families at BJAMS were able
to raise $25 each month simply from making
their everyday purchases through GivingCart.
(This isn't very difficult to do when things
like contact lenses earn 8%, school supplies
from Staples earn 7% and printer cartridges
earn 36%.)
GivingCart's strongest fund raising
ability lies with strength in numbers. Here is
a simple but very realistic example to help:
BJAMS families would then raise $2,500 per
month. This means that GivingCart would be
sending $24,000 to BJAMS ever year.
