I am also the cofounder of iShop4Microfinance, an innovative online platform for socially conscious shoppers to make an impact on microfinance organizations for free. When you shop at our partner stores (Amazon, iTunes, Gap, Walmart, & more) through iShop4 store links, 4% of whatever you spend goes directly towards Kiva and Grameen Foundation. Shopping through us will never cost you more than it normally would. It is incredible how quickly 4% of your online spending can add up to make a difference across the globe.
