Scholarships and Charitable Giving

We own the trademark, Charity in Every Click^TM, for a reason.  NEWYORK.COM believes that every one of us can make the world a better place.   As a user of the NEWYORK.COM website, no matter where you are in the world, you can do your part. NEWYORK.COM has chosen to give its support to issues that we believe affect the entire world: Educational Scholarships, Famine in Africa, Global warming, HIV/AIDS, Cancer, Parkinson's Disease, Illiteracy, and Poverty.

To help rid the world of these ills, for every transaction made directly through our website, NEWYORK.COM will make a donation, as the user specifies and in the user's name, to the charities below whose primary mission is to defeat these challenges.  In addition, we are continuously adding scholarship programs at houses of worship and at schools, like the University of Pittsburgh, as well as at philanthropic and youth programs around the world.
