We believe that by creating a handmade marketplace that donates 2% of every purchase to a children's charity, we can transform the online economy into an engine for social good. At goimagine, our mission is to connect buyers and sellers like any other marketplace while donating to children's charities for every purchase made. This concept allows small businesses to run their online store like they normally would and buyers to shop for things they love, but marketplace transactions turn into donations to help children in need. It's a simple idea that can have profound effects on our society.
This may sound familiar. Amazon once had a program called “Amazon Smile,” which donated over $400 Million to U.S. charities by letting buyers choose where the donation went.
Amazon did this by only donating 0.5% of each sale (goimagine is doing 4 times that by giving 2%), but sadly Amazon ended their philanthropic program in 2023.
Our focus is to support charities that help children in need. As we grow and have the ability to increase our monetary donations, we hope to continue adding charity partners. You can learn more about the charities we are currently donating to here.
If you're a maker or artist and are looking for a new place to sell your wares, we'd love for you to become a member! You can view full plan details and apply on our Membership Page.
Every purchase not only supports an independent maker or artist, but also helps children in need. The marketplace is full of unique handmade treasures waiting to be found. Shop Now.
Word of mouth is a powerful tool. Consider recommending us to friends and family that may be interested in handmade wares with a philanthropic purpose.
