KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 18 TN-Abunga.comNonprof
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- A new Web-based book retailer, Abunga.com, is making a way for its customers to not only purchase books, but designate a portion of the company's net revenue to a charity of their choice with a click of the mouse.
Abunga.com, the family-friendly online bookstore, gives 5 percent of all net purchases to nonprofit organizations through the Favored Abunga Nonprofit (FAN) program and provides the opportunity for consumers to take an active role in the giving by prompting them with each purchase to choose which organizations will receive the donation.
"In the midst of our country's economic flux, it is important to remember to give," said Lee Martin, chairman of Abunga.com. "We are providing our customers a way to not only find a variety of books at competitive prices, but the opportunity to support a worthy organization they strongly care about through their everyday book purchases."
Currently, Abunga.com features more than 8,000 different FANs ranging from local schools and churches to national ministries and humanitarian organizations, including those such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, United Way of America and the American Red Cross.
The Web-based bookstore is continually expanding its FAN list by allowing consumers to nominate their favorite nonprofits by filling out a simple online form. Abunga.com reviews all submissions to ensure each organization upholds the ethical, moral and spiritual principles that coincide with Abunga.com's positive mission of family-friendliness.
"Through the FAN program, we are putting a spotlight on outstanding nonprofit organizations that are advocates for family-friendly values and causes," said Martin.
Abunga.com is an online bookstore founded to provide families a protected shopping environment. Headquartered in Knoxville, Tenn., Abunga.com offers safety with more than 1.6 million family-friendly products, savings through distributor-direct prices and support to nonprofit organizations by donating 5 percent of each transaction to a customer-selected charity.
