Why? Because it’s simply the right thing to do! Bookause believes that customers and communities are a huge component to the success of any business, so we wanted to create a business that gave back just as much as it received from its customers and their communities.

Since his younger years Lyndon Morgan II had always known that he wanted to start a business as well as give back to communities, but didn’t really know at the time how he would be able to effectively mesh the two together. In early 2013, one night at home when about to turn in for the night, Lyndon was brainstorming about business ideas out loud (in other words talking to himself LOL). While thinking about the idea of an online bookstore and using it for a good cause he was tongue tied as his mind was going a million miles a minute and he accidentally spoke the words “books” and “cause” at the same time fusing them together in a weird way. Then he said it, “Bookause!”; in that moment company was born.

Bookause generates money for communities through Amazon’s Associate Program based on the volume of products shipped/downloaded in a given month from Bookause.com. Bookause receives a volume advertising fee between 4.00% and 8.50% for all of its products except for magazines which have a fixed advertising fee rate of 25.00%, and electronic products which have a fixed advertising rate of 4.00% .

Bookause is currently planning to work with organizations in the Manhattan, KS area similar to K-State Foundation, HIS (Helping International Students) and Flint Hills Breadbasket. As Bookause grows we plan to reach out and work with organizations all over the country, and one day all over the world.

Bookause’s plans for the future, simply put, is to “Change The World” one day at a time. As a company, we plan to reach out to the organizations and individuals all across the world that help make a difference. More often than not, many of these organizations and individuals are unheard and overlooked in the grand scheme of things. Bookause plans to change this pattern by working together and offering our heart, help and financial support in any way that we can.
