    Impact Agent

    When we aren’t busy hustling for a better world, we’re balancing our work life with what makes us unique. We have individuals who rock climb, create music, model, have served in the Korean Army, and have even been arrested for changing their friend’s grades when in middle school. We always celebrate our differences while building our bonds, and giving back— together.

    Our Founder and CEO, Ronny Sage, kept finding a common goal throughout his years of working at a digital marketing agency and brands— How do we connect with the right customers in a more meaningful way and within budget? With the US market spending over $200b in advertising and $25B in digital advertising, he thought there has to be a better way for brands to spend this money, while still acquiring the right customer.

    He believed there was an opportunity to shift marketing dollars to the impact space and by doing so, brands could connect with customers to build authentic relationships while still driving business goals – all while creating a positive impact. As the team of co-founders started digging into the issue, we realized how cost-prohibitive cause marketing was for retailers, and how little the customer had to do with the role in who retailers supported. They saw that the big retailers gave to the top nonprofits and that most of the time, the customer was the one who ended up paying more for the donation— enter ShoppingGives.

    ShoppingGives began in 2015 as an organization to do good and make an impact at any scale. As time progressed, we saw a demand from consumers for the same and have evolved with our community.

    We build products to address the expectation for change.  We are proud to bring our merchant partners the ability to give back to organizations of all sizes; shoppers the ability to stretch their dollar for good; and organizations the funding to progress their missions.
