Raise money for your cause while you surf the web
Better The World is the world’s first, effortless fundraising platform that provides people with free and easy ways to raise money for the causes they care most about. The platform unites people, companies and charities with a shared interest in a cause - with the goal of driving positive social change.
Better The World has partnered with leading global charities like the World Wildlife Fund, Habitat for Humanity, Children’s Miracle Network, United Way and Heart and Stroke Foundation. The company is a for-profit social venture that is privately owned with operations in Canada and the U.S.

As a social business entrepreneur I always enjoy learning about for-profit ventures with a social mission. Business, capitalism and profit have tremendous power to be a force for good. That's why we started www.buythechange.com - classifieds with a conscience. While Better the World's focus is global charities, buythechange is focused on driving money back to local, neighborhood non-profits by helping people buy and sell in a trusted community of friends and neighbors.
I think that social business ventures are an essential part of advancing social change in the world and I'm glad that Ode gives them visibility. Thank you!
