We-Care, Giving Forward and the History of SweepsForACause:
Kevin Lee, the founder of Giving Forward (the nonprofit runnning SweepsForACause) ran three philanthropic sweepstakes under We-Care.com’s Sweep4aCause. (at the time a for-profit venture) giving away $32,000 to nonprofits and an additional $32,000 to winners. Kevin applied what he learned running We-Care ($8.3 Million donated to causes) to the development and launch of all the Giving Forward platforms, including SweepsForACause.org.
Before the founding Giving Forward, Inc., We-Care focused on cause marketing powered eCommerce platform. After a 7 year partnership and a test run at Amazon’s request, Amazon was “inspired” to launch SMILE, generating an additional $450 Million in donations, only to shut down on Presidents Day 2023, some say that because the $100 million in annual SMILE donations no longer improved conversion rate or stickiness, allowing Amazon to recoup that $100 million annually deploying it as they see fit. We-Care shut down without Amazon, but Giving Forward brought back the charity mall concept. The founder of We-Care and Giving Forward are the same person, Kevin Lee.
