Support Alliance for Students Against Poverty Inc: Turn Shopping into Giving

How does Maatiam work?

When you shop through Maatiam’s network of retailers, Maatiam is paid a commission. We pass through the listed commission to the nonprofit organizations of your choice. Outside the listed percentages, we retain a smaller portion (typically 1/3) of retailer commissions to fund our development, operation, and growth. For example, we donate 7% and retain 3% of the total 10% commission received from Drugstore.com.

Am I paying the same price when I shop through Maatiam.com?

Yes! You pay the exact same price as you would pay if you shopped with our retailers directly. Your invoice or bill does not increase, and you enjoy the same level of service from our retail partners.

How much can I donate?

The amount of donation depends on how much you spend online. Use our simple Donation Estimator to find out how much you can donate every year. Every penny makes a difference!

Do I need to login with retailers when making a purchase?

Yes. When you will click through to one of our partner retailers’ websites, you will need to login, just as if you had visited their website directly.

Am I buying from Maatiam.com or the affiliated retailers?

You are buying directly from our retailer partners. Our retailers handle payment, shipping, returns and any other service.

Should I come back to Maatiam every time I make a purchase?

Absolutely! Only purchases initiated from Maatiam.com website earn donations. Please bookmark our website and remember to come back. Every purchase makes a difference!

Is shopping through Maatiam.com secure?

Yes! Our retailers have strict security measures in place to ensure that transactions are safe and customer information is secure. Maatiam itself does not collect credit card information.

Does Maatiam respect my privacy?

Yes! You can optionally create an account with Maatiam, and we will not share or sell any personal or confidential information. Please review our Privacy Policy for more detail.

What are the advantages of registering with Maatiam?

When you register with Maatiam, you can opt-in to receive important news and updates from Maatiam, and track your donations online. We will not share or sell any confidential information.

How can I be sure that Maatiam will pass my donation on to the nonprofit organization I designated?

By registering with Maatiam, you can view your purchases and donations passed onto your designated nonprofit organizations in My Profile page.

Do I get a tax deduction?

No. The IRS limits tax deductibility for donations to the amount paid over and above the fair market price for an item. Since the prices you pay when buying from our retailer partners through our site are the same as if you purchased directly from the merchant, no tax-deductible event occurs. But hey, you are helping your nonprofit with just a few clicks, for free.
