The Gift That Feels Different: How ClearGivers Turns Holiday Shopping into Giving That Matters

This season, ClearGivers invites donors to experience the joy of shopping for good by helping charities, supporting local businesses, and feeling the true spirit of giving

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Dec. 16, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — This holiday season, ClearGivers offers a new kind of giving experience, one that blends the joy of shopping with the purpose of philanthropy. Founded by Aisha Kumari, the innovative platform connects donors, local businesses, and charities in a seamless online marketplace designed to make generosity feel personal and immediate.

“ClearGivers turns the act of giving into something you can truly feel,” said Aisha Kumari, “because you’re not just donating – you’re choosing exactly what a charity needs and buying it right on the ClearGivers platform from a local business. It’s meaningful, simple, and joyful.”

Through ClearGivers, charities post wishlists of goods and services, local vendors list their products, and donors browse and purchase directly for the causes they care about. Every dollar donated goes entirely to the charity and the local business providing the item.

Unlike traditional donation platforms, 100% of each contribution through ClearGivers reaches the charity, thanks to its partnership with GoodBee, a software company that covers the platform’s operational costs.

The result is a double gift: one that uplifts local economies while fulfilling tangible needs. “Each dollar has twice the impact,” said Kumari, “You’re supporting your community and a cause at the same time.”

The ClearGivers’ platform design makes the experience familiar yet transformative. Donors enjoy an interface that feels like online shopping, but instead of buyer’s remorse, they experience gratitude and connection. “We wanted to make generosity accessible and enjoyable,” Kumari said, “It’s retail therapy with purpose.”

For charities, it’s an efficient and empowering model: they receive precisely what they request, when they need it. For small businesses, it opens a new sales channel and deepens community relationships. And, for donors, it brings the warmth of holiday giving back to the forefront of a digital world.

“This time of year, people want to give in ways that feel real and make a connection,” Kumari said, “With ClearGivers, they can see exactly where their gift goes and how it helps. It’s what the holidays are meant to be about.”

Massi Furlan plays Anthony Servidone in ‘Live by Night’ directed by Ben Affleck and produced by Leonardo DiCaprio

Live by Night

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., March 10, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Actor Massi Furlan takes on the role of Anthony Servidone opposite Ben Affleck in "Live by Night" a 1920's prohibition-era American crime film written and directed by Affleck and produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. The film is based on the novel by Dennis Lehane, is being distributed by Warner Bros and slated to hit the theaters in 2017.

"I'm excited to be in this marvelous new film, and having to work with such a talented crew, including OSCAR winners Affleck and DiCaprio," said Furlan.

Furlan will also appear as Cesar in "Trafficked" helmed by Ashley Judd alongside producer Conroy Kanter and Writer / Producer Siddharth Kara. "Trafficked" shines a light on the worldwide problem of human trafficking. The film is based on true events about the lives of three girls from America, Nigeria and India who were trafficked through an elaborate worldwide network and then enslaved in a Texas brothel. The film will have its world premiere in Geneva in the summer of 2016, sponsored by the United Nations.

With over 60 credits to his name, Massi is a character actor to follow. He was born in Treviso, Italy, and flew helicopters before turning his daring personality into a pro actor, known as the "Charming Villain." First starting his career as a stand-up comic in Italy he transitioned into acting after moving to Miami. He currently lives in Los Angeles, Calif.

Massi's forte is Eastern European characters, but he has played a variety of roles from other nationalities such as Cuban, Serbian, French, Persian, Mexican, Italian and Russian. Better known for characters he brought to life in: "The Dark Knight Rises" directed by Christopher Nolan; "Keeping up with the Joneses" with Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher (scheduled to be released in the summer 2016); "Blood of Redemption" with Billy Zane and Dolph Lundgren; and "Layover" alongside Lauren Holly.

His TV performances include "True Blood," "NCIS Los Angeles," "Criminal Minds" and more.

Later this year Massi will be playing Maurizio D'Oro the owner of a high-end art gallery in Rhode Island who mentors aspiring autistic artist Randy in "Randy's Canvas," a non-profit film benefiting autism.

When the Italian actor isn't working he rescues and trains dogs while supporting animal charities and events.
