TamPogo.com to Feed a Child

Every so often there is an intersection between commerce and charity. WWW.TamPogo.com seems to be just such an opportunity.

TamPogo logo TamPogo.com is an online shopping site that is teaming up with www.feedmystarvingchildren.org to offer online products that we all use with a percentage of each purchase and a percentage of annual profit to feed starving children around the world.

The site is www.TamPogo.com. The sign-up if free. You only pay for products that you may decide to purchase online in the future. The shopping site is just opening today (15 Jul 2009) so you will be able to see the product selection soon.

To encourage you to share this mission with other people, there is a small compensation plan to pay you a small “thank you” when you invite other shoppers to join with you. But the purpose of the program is directed at creating charitable donations to feed children.

Please take a look at the program at www.TamPogo.com. My referring rep ID is NP17579. There are three videos on the site to explain how it works and who it helps.

This may fit the description “doing well by doing good”. Take a look at the program and you decide.

A description of “Our Cause” from the TamPogo.com web site.

“What if you could purchase great products at wholesale prices AND feed a starving child for one week with every purchase...would you do it? Welcome to Tampogo! We have built our company based on this exact concept. We contribute to a major non-profit organization that focuses on ending world hunger. They have scientifically designed a food and vitamin product that provides all of the essential nutritional support for undernourished children in second and third world countries around the world. The food is packaged by volunteers and shipped to volunteer run distribution sites around the world. Every item you purchase on Tampogo, feeds a starving child somewhere in the world for one week. Imagine a world in which you help end hunger, poverty and hopelessness. It is possible and Tampogo is dedicated to make this dream a reality. We have committed a percentage of every purchase as well as a percentage of our annual profit. You can be part of the solution by providing hope and nutrition for a hurting child.”

Ted, I will check out the site tmorrow when have more time but for now this seems like a good cause so lets feature you in silent majority so more people see it.

Thanks for comment, Hugh.

The site was brought to me by a friend who is a successful marketeer and motivated by Christian Principles before the shopping portion of the site was loaded. I signed up on the promise that purchases made would produce charitable contributions to www.feedmystarvingchildren.org. There is no cost to join so no risk is involved.

The long term success of the program will be determined by the convenience, pricing and quality of the products available on the site. On-line shopping can be convenient if there is value in the products. They are still loading the site with products, so I cannot yet offer an opinion about their offerings. All else being equal, people will use the site if value is there and to benefit the well known charity for children.

We'll see, says the zen-master. I will be back to comment further when more info is available. I am attracted to the concept and the anticipated benefit to charity but want to see the final program.

Linking directly to the charity to make a direct contribution is also an option. They seem to have a very high percentage of donations actually funding programs with an unusually small percentage going to administration and marketing.

Ted - I will take a look at this site later today. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Ted - Thank you for sharing, I too will take a look.

Thanks, Mike and Tchaka for stopping by.

Give their site about a week to get set up. Initial beta site is operating but products are limited. More every day use products coming, I'm told.
