Trib Local: EASYCHARITY.NET: SHOP ONLINE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE

From now until the end of June, Easycharity.net will be helping Evanston Public Library Funds raise funds to support the Evanston Library System. www.Easycharity.net is a website that was created by a group of undergraduate students at Northwestern University who are interested in entrepreneurial opportunities. According to the information section of the website, the students believe that “if you’re going to shop online anyway, you might as well help others at the same time.”

With no extra cost to the consumer, the shopping experience itself is unchanged. Easycharity.net donates 90% of its revenues to charity. The group chooses different charities to donate to each month, and in the past have contributed to organizations such as The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, StandUp for Kids, and The Hunger Project.
