Company Summary

We have found a way to assist consumers to contribute 20% to causes, leverage it as a marketing channel, taking advantage of trends in social media today, allowing the consumer to choose their own products, causes and curate their own store, requiring no change to consumer behavior. We are focused on luxury gift brands that rarely are discounted, so this process of offering a % of our sales to a charity, still results in healthy margins for GtG.
