A look at AAPCI.org's socially conscious online shopping mall.

The African American Planning Commission (AAPCI) Inc.'s online shopping portal is designed to generate revenue for its programs and services. Additionally, when you make a financial donation to the charitable organization, whether by mail or through its secure online credit card donation server (powered by Guidestar and setup by Network for Good), 100% of your tax-deductible financial donations go directly to support the development of transitional homeless shelters, affordable housing for formerly homeless families fleeing domestic violence, and supportive housing for families living with the devastation of HIV/AIDS in the United States and in Africa... At No Extra Cost To You!

Prices at AAPCI.org's online shopping portal are the exact same prices you'd pay if you shopped with off-line merchants directly, but if you shop through AAPCI.org's online shopping portal, 100% of the retailer's standard affiliate fees goes back to the organization and helps to develop community-based programs. There are additional benefits to shopping through the nonprofit organization's shopping portal. Many merchants often offer ongoing SALES on items that you will only find online.

By shopping through the AAPCI.org web site, you are not only purchasing quality goods and services; you are also helping to make a difference in someone's life! The site features socially conscious, environmentally aware, employee friendly, and community oriented merchants, not to mention a huge resource directory, community forum and blog lounge.

This is how it works -- With each Internet purchase that you initiate from AAPCI.org's shopping portal, AAPCI gets paid an "affiliate fee" or "affiliate commission" by the merchant or service provider. Typically these fees range from pennies per click to up to 30% of your purchase price. Unlike many for-profit competitors, AAPCI.org donates 100% of its retailer's standard affiliate fees to its programs and causes. AAPCI also donates 100% of the revenue for ads sold on its page to support its mission. There is no extra cost to you, no hidden charges, and it's a good way to give back to the community.
