| Q. How does it work? |
|
A. In the Shopping Cart feature of each website, the customer is prompted to select a charity from our list of partners. The selected charity will receive the Magazines with a Mission donation. The customer can select their favorite charity or choose to opt-out of the feature by selecting “No, thank you”. The customer then proceeds through the rest of the Shopping Cart, supplying billing and shipping information just as you would on any e-commerce website. After all information is completely entered, the customer must Review and Confirm the order before the transaction is processed. Magazines with a Mission then receives payment for the subscription and forwards the order on to the magazine publisher for fulfillment. The donations for each charity accumulate and each quarter Magazines with a Mission sends a cumulative donation check to each respective charity partner. Magazines with a Mission does not charge the customer an additional fee when our customers choose to designate a charity. All donations are taken from the Magazines with a Mission profit. |
| Q. Can I select more than one charity to receive the donation from my purchase? |
|
A. No, you can only select one charity with each purchase. However, you can make separate purchases if you wish to subscribe to more than one magazine and select a different charity on each subsequent purchase. |
| Q. What if I do not see a charity I'd like to support? |
|
A. We are always interested in learning about new potential partners. Please complete our online form to suggest a charity for consideration. Please understand that we limit our number of partnerships in order to make a measurable impact for our current partners, but welcome new suggestions for future consideration. |
| Q. What if I do not select a charity at all? |
|
A. If you choose to opt out of designating a donation, Magazines with a Mission will not make a donation for your purchase. You must choose a charity to receive our donation in order for one to be made. |
| Q. Do all of my subscription purchases count towards a donation? |
|
A. If you designate a charity partner in the Shopping Cart process to receive our donation, then 10% of every dollar for each subscription counts toward the donation for that charity partner. |
| Q. How do you select which charities to approach for partnership? |
|
A. In order to create mutually beneficial partnerships, we conduct diligent research on each potential partner before approaching the organization. We base our selections on the organization's mission and values, their organizational structure and financial records, the cause they support and the programs offered, ratings by independent charity evaluators and the Better Business Bureau and the potential for a successful cause-related marketing partnership with Magazines with a Mission. |
| Q. How can I learn more about your charity partners? |
|
A. Please visit the Charity Partners page of our website, where you will see a complete list of our partners and be able to click through to their respective websites. |
| Q. How can I spread the word about Magazines with a Mission? |
|
A. Look for the Tell a Friend application on our websites to send an informational email to your friends about our organization. |
| Q. Is Magazines with a Mission active in the programs of its charity partners? |
|
A. Each charity partner employs different programs and strategies to support its cause. Magazines with a Mission is active in many different ways, depending on the partner in question. Some of our partners hold local, regional and national events that Magazines with a Mission sponsors or attends. Other charities have programs that Magazines with a Mission directly supports with donations. As a corporation, Magazines with a Mission leaves the personal involvement of its employees to be decided by each individual. |
| Q. Does Magazines with a Mission represent the charities it supports? |
|
A. No, we are not representatives of any of our charity partners. We simply support their mission and programs through monetary donations and promoting their cause through our business practices. |
| Q. Why do your websites list some magazines and not others? |
|
A. The magazines listed on MyMagazineSubs.com are titles for which we are directly authorized by the publisher to sell for Magazines with a Mission. Some titles are not listed because we have not established a direct relationship with the publisher, or the publisher has chosen to decline affiliation with Magazines with a Mission. In order to offer our customers the best titles and prices available, we are working diligently to build relationships with new publishers and are adding titles to our websites on a regular basis. If you are a circulation director or magazine publisher and are interested in adding your title(s) to our websites, please visit our Publishers page for more information or Request a Media Kit today. |
