I haven't studied this, but it appears to be a website from which a portion of retail purchases can be applied to preservation causes. Some of the participants are major chains. http://www.buyforcharity.com/ |

I've signed the Colfax RR Museum up for the program. I'll report in a couple of months on results. Herb Sakalaucks Colfax RR Museum |

iGive.com is similar. The Trolley Museum of New York has been linked to iGive for several years. |

It was difficult to decide which category to list under. "Museum" had several listings including a few rail related ones |

Hii Mark and Everyone, We have had pretty good success with iGive. We have had about $70 dollars donated to our society with just one or two people shopping so far. The thing is with any of these is if you have members signed up who do a lot of shopping online. The more people shop for your organization the more is donated to you. As an example. if you haven anyone who wants a subscription to Trains Magazine then you can get a donation of up to 26% per subscription. for a $30 dollar subscription you make an average $7.5 in donations As I mentioned eairler we have had some donation brought in by using iGive and it can be better if more people use it.
