1. How does this work?  Each of the web stores listed on this site participate in an affiliate program. This program pays websites for bringing them customers.  When you click on a web store, there is a link with an electronic code from a third party company that follows your click to each web store.  If a purchase is made, the third party company registers the sale under www.militarycharitymall.com  and a commission is paid.  The amount of the commissions vary by store ranging from 2-20%.  Commissions are paid either monthly, quarterly or when a certain amount due is reached. 

2. Can I get an IRS deduction for my purchases?   No,  Military Charity Mall does not have the capability to monitor each sale and provide the purchaser with the amount of commission paid.  We do not receive any information on the purchaser at all.  We will know only that a sale was made, the amount of the sale and the commission on that sale.

3. Do I have to come to www.MilitaryCharityMall.com  each time I make a purchase?  The answer to this question is difficult.  When a person clicks on a store from Military Charity Mall, a cookie or electronic signature is left on the persons computer. These cookies vary in length from 1 day to 6 months.  If you go back to the store within this time frame, the store will recognize you as a customer from Military Charity Mall. If not within the time frame, Military Charity Mall will not get credit.  The only way to ensure that Military Charity Mall gets credit for your purchase is to go to www.MilitaryCharityMall.com  and start your shopping from there.

4. Can I designate which military charity my purchase will help?  No, we have no way of tracking customer information so we cannot do this.

5. How are the funds generated by Military Charity Mall divided?  The commissions will be divided equally among the charities we are supporting. Currently, the Wounded Warrior Project and the Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund will split the proceeds equally. In the future we will be adding additional charities and again supporting them equally.

6. What percentage of the commissions are donated to charities?  All of the commissions generated minus expenses to run the website will be donated.  Our expenses are anticipated to be less than 10% of the total commissions but since the site just came online, we have not received any commissions yet.
