NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

At DoneGood they believe that the dollars we all spend are the world’s most powerful force for change. Americans gave around $450 billion to charity last year—but we spent over 300 times more than that buying stuff!  If even a fraction of that spending could also help reduce poverty, fight climate change, and otherwise make the world better, the impact would be huge!

DoneGood (donegood.com) makes it quick, easy, and affordable  (with exclusive discount codes!) to use your purchasing power to do good for people and the planet every time you shop online.  Forbes called DoneGood “The Amazon for Social Good.”

All items on DoneGood are made by DoneGood-approved brands that pay living wages, empower communities and fight climate change with ecofriendly business practices.
