A charity mall is an online mall that donates a percentage of
any sale to one or more charities of the customer's choice; the
percentage so donated varies widely from 1% to >50%. Typically
the charity mall sells no products of its own but instead acts as a
central web location other online vendors. A charity mall often
relies on third party affiliate marketing services in order to
rapidly establish contractual relationships with these
vendors.
There are advantages to all parties involved with a
charity mall. Charities can receive donations with little or no
effort on their part. Donors can make donations without increasing
the cost of a purchase they may have been planning to make anyway.
The vendors and the charity mall can both gain customers and
profits.
