GivingPoint News

Welcome to GivingPoint! We strive to be open and transparent as we create new models for young budding philanthropists to get more involved in causes they care about. We wanted to share our transformational priorities for the year. Every day, we will work towards these goals. With your help, we can succeed!

 

  • We will create a national base of role models teaching teens how to drive social change.
  • We are continuously developing leading-edge technology that attracts socially conscious teenagers and helps them to discover and fuel their unique social passion.
  • We are becoming the young social entrepreneur’s resource center of choice -- facilitating active participation in causes that matter to them.
  • We are a vehicle for nonprofits to understand, attract, engage and inspire social innovators.
  • We have generated an active, diverse group of donors, supporters and volunteers who are providing sustainable funds and resources to support young people who care.

 

Through GivingPoint, we are building a generation of civic leaders – one teen at a time!

SocialVest believes that everyone wants to make a difference, but the time, money and "know how" aren't always there.

That's why SocialVest built a system that allows you to give back through something you already do everyday: shop.

When you join SocialVest, a percentage of everything you buy goes directly to your Socialvest account. From there, you can donate your SocialVest dollars to causes that matter to you the most - hopefully that's GIVINGPOINT!
