GiveByShopping.com is the latest example of the power of technology being harnessed for the benefit of non-profit organizations.
The GiveByShopping.com Online Fundraising Network is designed to make it easier for chuches, non-commercial religious broadcasters, civic groups and other non-profit organizations to serve others by creating an additional source of funding using your group's existing resources with no additional cost to your organization or your supporters. We create a customized web portal for your group, simply and quickly explain our service to your supporters, and offer them easy-to-use links to shop the websites of reputable, nationally-known merchants.
You use your website and other promotional vehicles to let your supporters know that they can click your GiveByShopping.com to shop through your Online Shopping Portal and support your organization. After your visitors make purchases through that portal, GiveByShopping.com will donate a portion of the proceeds from those sales to your group.
About Jeff Johnson
Jeff Johnson GiveByShopping.com founder Jeff Johnson has served for more than 20 years as a professional broadcaster and journalist with well-respected organizations like Salem Communications (the nation's largest Christian broadcaster), CNSNews.com (the world's first Internet-based news wire service), and Family News in Focus (the radio newsmagazine of Focus on the Family). Jeff currently hosts the AFA Report, the flagship talk show of the American Family Radio network, and reports for the American Family News Network.
Through his experience as a Christian broadcaster and church media ministry leader, Jeff knows firsthand how difficult it can be for churches, non-commercial Christian broadcasters, civic groups and other non-profit organizations to raise funds for general operations or special projects. As his Northern Virginia church was completing a new building in early 2006, Jeff was searching for an additional source of funding for its ministries that would allow the church to generate new revenue using existing resources and with little or no cash outlay. Jeff combined his experience building websites for Christian radio stations with the marketing knowledge he gained in commercial radio to create GiveByShopping.com.
Jeff, his wife, and infant daughter now live in Belden, Mississippi. He and his wife are both active members and ministry leaders in West Jackson Street Baptist Church in Tupelo, Mississippi.
