Nowhere is the economic recession being felt more than in the world of nonprofits. We are seeing decreased giving, the potential of positions unfilled and services reduced, and more time spent on fundraising. Yet we are also hearing that the need for our services has never been greater. Clearly, the quality of life in our community would be affected if it were not for the essential services we provide.

To be healthy and productive, we must have financial support. Just imagine what our organization could accomplish with a consistent revenue stream. We are taking our lead from what other nonprofits are doing. With income from foundations and corporations shrinking, fiscally responsible nonprofits are thinking outside the box and are forming strategic partnerships with companies and individuals that share a common vision.

That's why we are excited about the Shaklee Fundraising opportunity. With Shaklee, you have the chance to make a real difference for our nonprofit on an ongoing basis. You likely purchase cleaning products, vitamins, and health and beauty aids regularly. Now you have the power to help our nonprofit every time you make a purchase by redirecting your choices to Shaklee non-toxic cleaners and health product alternatives. In turn, our organization receives income from the sale of every product made directly from our online store. It's that simple.

What Is "Cause Marketing"?

"Cause marketing" is where purpose, passion, and profits meet in a productive, strategically aligned partnership. While there have been earlier examples of the purchase of corporate goods benefiting charitable organizations, the term "cause marketing" was coined by American Express®. From 1981 to 1984, American Express supported over 45 local causes through a marketing arrangement where the use of its card generated financial support for programs American Express elected to sponsor. In one of its campaigns, American Express raised $2 million for the Statue of Liberty Restoration Project. But it was Newman's Own® that really brought to the mainstream consumer the concept and the beneficial impact of cause marketing. Today, you participate in cause marketing when you designate a percentage of your purchases at your local supermarket to support your local schools. Consumers can eat for a cause, wear for a cause, and support a cause through numerous strategic partnerships. When you purchase from this web site, you make a statement that you care to support the work of our nonprofit.
