Our Mission
Give Freely is a mission-driven company incorporated with the sole purpose of harnessing the collective power of online commerce for charitable good. Co-founded and funded by Steve Kaufer, the visionary co-founder and longtime leader of Tripadvisor, Give Freely’s automatic coupon finder is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charity every time you shop online, at no cost to you.
Give Freely seeks to spark a movement by embedding generosity into everyday acts. Steve is a huge believer in the power of large communities channeling small, individual actions into a large, collective force for good. With Tripadvisor, that vision led to a few million review contributors helping more than a billion travelers every year have a better vacation.
With Give Freely, every purchase becomes a small act of generosity. When aggregated, those acts hold immense potential for positive global impact. If 50 million users joined the movement, they would generate over a billion dollars in new donations to charities every year. In a world where people often feel powerless in the face of conflict, human suffering and environmental threats, Give Freely aspires to be an antidote by creating a movement to inspire generosity.
This sounds great! How does Give Freely work?
When you shop at 10,000 of your favorite stories, Give Freely will find you discount codes and coupons to help you score deals, with the added bonus that Give Freely will donate its commission from the sale to your favorite charitable organization. You can choose from over one million nonprofits to support.
