San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 27, 2006 -– GoodStorm (www.GoodStorm.com), a progressive e-commerce provider, has launched an online T-shirt store for Craigslist Foundation (www.craigslistfoundation.org). Revenue from the sale of T-shirts will help provide free and low cost education opportunities to emerging nonprofit leaders and social entrepreneurs.

The Craiglist Foundation store (http://www.craigslistfoundation.org/store) features T-shirts for women, men and children displaying craigslist and Craigslist Foundation themes. These include the craigslist name along with categories from craigslist Personals, such as “Strictly Platonic,” “Rants and Raves,” ”Women Seeking Women,” “Men Seeking Men” and “Casual Encounters.”

Yobie Benjamin, GoodStorm founder and chief executive officer, said, “Just as craigslist brings people closer together through an online community, Craigslist Foundation is forging connections in the nonprofit world. We are proud to support Craigslist Foundation’s work to share knowledge and educational resources with the next generation of nonprofit leaders.”

Darian Heyman, executive director of Craigslist Foundation, added, “We are honored to work with a partner like GoodStorm. They share our vision of empowerment by offering free, easy-to-use e-commerce tools that enable socially responsible organizations to open online stores and generate income from e-commerce sales. At a time when every dollar counts, GoodStorm gives sellers 70 percent of the profit.”

At GoodStorm.com, progressive organizations and individuals can launch online stores selling digitally printed T-shirts and other products featuring their own designs. GoodStorm handles inventory management, shipping, logistics, and billing, so sellers have more time to create designs and build and nurture communities of people who share their values.

Sellers incur no costs for opening or running a GoodStorm storefront because the e-store tools are free and the shirts are printed and shipped on demand. Best of all, storeowners keep 70 percent of the net profit generated from sales — instead of the 20 percent to 30 percent offered by other e-commerce enablers.
