Here on 5 for Fairness, even though we have a number front and center in our
name, we are really not about the money. Yes, we need money to
support great programs doing great work on behalf of girls with our grants. But to me, the money is not what makes what we do powerful. What makes us powerful is that we are paying attention. In order for the world to tilt more
consistently toward fairness, a lot of us are going to have to pay
attention to the problem for a long time.
Luckily, there is an incredibly easy and totally free (to you, at least) way to pay attention to our cause and, handily, send us cold hard cash at the same time. If you start your Amazon search from the handy little search box on the left hand side of our home page, a portion - somewhere between 4% and 6% - of the proceeds of anything you buy in that session comes straight to 5 for Fairness.
Great, right?
Take March, for example. Due to purchases on Amazon that were made by people who started their search on our home page, $35.65 was just deposited in our account.
It may not seem like much to you, but to me, it's huge. It means we are paying attention.
So thank you, you unknown Amazon shoppers who pay attention to fairness every time you start your Amazon search here on our home page!
