Shop and Support Ndebele Art Project on nonprofitshoppingmall.com

How does this work?

Shop.napafrica.org is a unique online shopping mall where you can shop for the things you would normally buy, from the brands you would normally choose, and at the prices you would normally pay. Here's the best part - when you shop through this site, you're also helping NAP Africa benefit from all your purchases. NAP Africa has licensed its name to nonprofitshoppingmall, LLC (NPSM), the developer of this unique website, which uses this online shopping site to drive a new revenue stream of unrestricted funds into NAP Africa's annual budget -- and here's how that works

The 500+ retailers listed on the nonprofitshoppingmall (NPSM) website pay a sales percentage or set fees to NPSM. NPSM, in turn, pays sixty percent (60%) of those Retailer Payments to the Ndebele Art Project on a quarterly basis. The percentages or fees are fully disclosed by each retailer and appear underneath each retailer's logo.

Does it cost more to shop through this site? Do I have to pay membership fees or anything extra?

No. Prices and services are the exact same you've come to expect from your favorite retail stores. No extra fees or memberships are required.

Tell me about the EZ Shopper App - why should I download it?

The EZ Shopper App is an automated shop+give reminder and tracking system available for Firefox and Internet Explorer -- AND -- it's downloadable directly from the NAP Africa mall. Easy to install, the EZ Shopper app lives in your browser bar and is fully aware of our entire retail partner list. When users visit those online retailers directly (and they will,) the APP ensures that all of your purchases benefit NAP Africa each time you shop online with any of our more than 500 participating retailers.

Do I have to begin shopping from this site or can I just go directly to the retailer's site?

If you've downloaded the EZ Shopper App to your computer, any purchases you make from any listed retailer's website will benefit NAP Africa even if you don't start your shopping from this site. If you haven't downloaded the EZ Shopper App, you must begin on this site in order for NAP Africa to benefit from your online shopping. Without the App, this is the only way a retailer can recognize that your purchase originated from this site, and the only way to ensure that a portion of the proceeds from your purchases go to NAP Africa.

I received a special offer from a retailer via email. If I go to their link via their direct email, will NAP Africa still benefit from the sale?

If you received a special coupon code or discount offer from a retailer, you can still use the coupon when you shop with that retailer from this site or if you've downloaded the APP. Just be sure to include the discount or coupon code in your checkout process.

Can I treat the percentage amounts from my purchases that are designated to go to NAP Africa as a tax-deductible donation?

No. You are paying consumer prices for the goods and services offered through this site.

How safe is it to use my credit card when shopping through NPSM?

Since the retailers only share their sales and tracking information with NPSM, neither NAP Africa nor NPSM have access to your credit card or other personal information. For more information, the retailers' individual security and privacy policies can be found on each of their unique sites.
