Where does all my money go?

The Meaningful Shop is 100% non-profit.  Our online store goes through the PayPal Internet portal.  PayPal takes 4% of every transaction.  A further 10% is taken by the Meaningful Shop itself to cover the costs of running the shop and to support our local staff.  So, for example, if you were to buy $100 worth of items, PayPal would take $4, the Meaningful Shop $10 and the remaining $86 goes directly to the recipient.

This is great!  How do I get involved?

The Meaningful Shop is an initiative of Meaningful Volunteer - a 100% non-profit volunteer placement organization dedicated to empowering international volunteers to make a meaningful difference in developing communities.
