Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 9, 2008 -- Non-profits help cancer patients. Non-profits bring aide to third world nations, improve literacy rates, help those with disabilities and diseases, and improve our technology and research. When we lament the world's problems, it is the people at non-profits who are actively working to solve those problems every single day.

Volunteers and staff at non-profits are helping change the world.

To assist their efforts, Volusion, a world-leading provider of ecommerce solutions, has launched Stores to Change the World for non-profits looking to have a presence online. Ten non-profits will receive Platinum Level stores each month, for no monthly fees. Each store will include all of the standard features of a Volusion store-- secure and reliable hosting, access to award-winning shopping cart software, 24/7/365 domestic phone support and pain-free software upgrades. Eligible non-profits will be able to sell merchandise, downloadable material such as books and speeches, as well as accept donations online. Their store can connect with PayPal, Google Checkout, or a merchant account for accepting credit cards directly. The barriers to start a non-profit have never been lower.

Volusion's COO Clay Olivier is optimistic about Stores to Change the World. "A lot of non-profits don't have the budget for expensive developers. That shouldn't mean they can't leverage the web to raise money and awareness for their cause. We have a solution that allows them to do this on their own, and we are happy to offer it to non-profit agencies to help them fulfill their purpose."

All non-profits with 501(c)(3) documentation are encouraged to sign up for a 14-day trial of Volusion's award winning software and submit documentation for their free store. For more information, please visit Volusion at Stores to Change the World.
