Our goal at Mixed Market is to encourage socially and environmentally sensitive lifestyles. One of our largest hurdles is to find simple ways that the majority of the public, whom generally don't possess the time, education or financial resources to help in the way that they may want, can still contribute to the betterment of the world.

The answer was a creation called Mixed Market. Mixed Market is an Internet shopping site comprised of a number of major online retailers. By utilizing the affiliate programs of each individual retailer, Mixed Market receives a commission from each purchase made through the Mixed Market site. We in turn donate a portion of that commission to five pre-determined charities or non-profit organizations. Thus, Mixed Market provides an avenue by which the average person can influence change through the support of dedicated organizations, all the while accomplishing this with very little change to a person's daily routine.

In 2006 the amount of online retail spending is projected to reach 100 billion dollars. Our goal is to redirect some of that spending towards organizations like the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Oprah's Angel Network, RARE and Global Partners for Development.

Shopping individually, we can make a difference together.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
