Wouldn't it be great if shopping earned donations for your favorite charities? Well, now it does! HeartOf.com is an online charity mall that will donate up to 75% of your purchase prices to CRS when you shop at over 650 well-known online stores at www.HeartOf.com.

How does it work?
HeartOf.com and other online charity malls have referral agreements with all of the e-stores that they link to. The e-stores pay a certain percentage of the total purchase to the charity mall in return for referring or driving customers to them. The charity mall, in this case HeartOf.com, then pays that referral fee to the shopper's specified organization. After researching several online charity malls, HeartOf.com was selected. HeartOf.com has the largest selection of stores and, while referral fee percentages are the same across the board for all the online charity malls, HeartOf.com appears to be the most stable and the most user friendly.

Please read the FAQ's to familiarize yourself with the premise of the site, paying particular attention to "What is the HeartOf.com Guide Window?" and "How do I use the HeartOf.com Guide Window?" This window must be active when you shop so that you and CRS get credit for your purchases.

The best thing about shopping this way is that if you normally use a credit card that rewards you in some way (cash back, frequent flyer miles, free gift cards, etc.), you can still use it! You get your rewards and CRS gets a donation. Bravo! Happy shopping!
