The aim of my article is to answer whether the market should be a “means” to help the poor. I analyze and evaluate the cases of using market to supply aid, especially the issues focused on Cause Related Marketing (CRM). I claim that it is better to separate market activities from the helping activities than, via commercialization, blur the distinctions between the two. The thesis is supported by developing a moral critique of CRM. I propose four types of critique: CRM’s participants motivation, the treatment of beneficiaries, CRM’s social consequences and consumers’ attitudes.
