Given the incredibly high traffic volume on this site from locations all over the world, they are clearly tapping into a need and reaching a diverse audience while also promoting a noble cause.

The site is inspiring, but also a tad overwhelming and intimidating for those new to the cause; do they have to use this site as the platform for all their activities? Can they break the site up or link to new pages so the average person still feels welcome to the site? Are they maximizing their profit potential from the site, especially with companies of similar values?
