GreaterGood is the retail side of the non-profit organization CharityUSA. The company sources and sells ethically produced products across a wide range of categories like clothing, jewelry, home décor, accessories, holiday items, and more. They even feature lines of fair trade and eco-friendly products.
CharityUSA donates a portion of their sales to a variety of worthy causes, depending upon what branch of the GreaterGood store you purchase from.
Some of the causes are:
The section of GreaterGood that means a lot to us is the Animal Rescue Site – a 3-50% of the proceeds from sales through this site go to buy food for rescue and shelter animals. Direct donations fund things like medical care, transportation, food, and emergency surgery for needy and sick animals. Not only that, but GreaterGood will not sell items that have been tested on animals, nor any product the manufacture of which involves wild or endangered animals in any way.
Where Does Your Donation Go?
When you donate or purchase a product through the GreaterGood Animal Rescue Site, the funds help real animals in real need. Charity partners of The Animal Site include the Humane Society of the United States, The Fund for Animals, the International Fund for Animal Welfare, and Rescue Bank.
Max was a German Shepherd rescued from the Tijuana streets and suffering from hunger and poor health. The Southern California German Shepherd Rescue gave Max a veterinary examination and discovered that he had a spleen tumor. Thankfully Max was able to get the surgery he needed due to a grant from GreaterGood.org. Plus, Max was placed with a forever family!
More on the Animal Rescue Site
This site for a good cause offers a bevy of ways to help, as well as fun features to play around with. The blog highlights a large selection of adorable animals via video – from deer, to fat puppies, to sweet little kittens. They also cover animal news from pet food recalls to heartwarming stories of pets saved from euthanasia in shelters.
Click on the “Free Actions” tab inside the Animal Rescue Site and you’ll be able to choose from a whole menu of options to help animals, at no charge to you – from a “click this button to donate food” link to the Shelter Challenge where you can choose from a list of shelters (or register your favorite!) and then vote for your choice of shelters for a chance to win part of a $100,000 grant for help with food and care of homeless pets.
Head over to the “Gifts That Give More” section and custom-choose the kind of donation you’d like to make – you can choose from everything from pet food for needy animals to medical care like vaccinations. Many donation choices offer a special free gift when you choose to donate to that specific cause – for example, give $25 to help with the care or transport of military war dogs and you’ll get a free American Flag for your car window.
When it comes to animal-related products, it’s tough to beat the GreaterGood Animal Rescue Site selection. From jewelry to clothing, and even footwear, there’s virtually nothing you can’t find to show your love of your cat or dog, or even better, as a gift for that special person.
