Through their vitual shopping mall (DSCoupons.com), DonationStreet is helping non-profits in their fundraising endeavors by allowing them to tap into the multi-billion dollar online sales market. Jupiter Research estimates that this market will reach $117 billion by 2008. DonationStreet works with over 700 top online merchants - from Macy’s to Land’s End, REI to Gap, Circuit City to Best Buy and Wal-Mart, to provide the ‘shopping experience’ for the non-profit patrons.

In addition, the website utilizes a proprietary system that scours the web for coupons, special deals and the like, from their base of retailers. These offers are constantly updated, insuring an incentive for repeat visitors. Patrons access DSCOUPONS.COM through the non-profit website, saving the non-profit thousands of dollars in setup fees. For every purchase made through the site, the non-profit organization receives a percentage of the sale and a portion goes to the company. This fee generated from the online merchant.

With the online marketplace growing exponentially and the non-profit donation base declining, this is a great alternative fundraising opportunity for non-for-profit organizations. DonationStreet provides the perfect incentive for people to shop online and at the same time support the charity or non-profit of their choice. The only obligation to the non-profit is to promote the web site to their constituency and supporters. DonationStreet has made it as effortless as possible to make the portal accessible to all charities, regardless of their technical expertize.

Once non-profit has become a member, they can simply link through DonationStreet Links or the more technically sophisticated Town Banners, Today’s Coupons, et al. DonationStreet supplies all the necessary code, again simplifying the technological maintenance of the site. Another important aspect of the site, unlike similar sites, is that shoppers don’t need to register.

No one likes to ask for money - even for a good cause so this is the perfect way for people to support their causes by simply buying what they were going to buy anyway. With the economy hitting everyone so hard, Non-Profits are constantly looking for new sources of donations.

Not for profit organizations can sign-up by using an enrollment form available at DSCoupons.com.
