“having people sell products where all proceeds go to charity” is different from simply earning to give as it uses this fact to market to a buyer. The idea is that I may be more willing to purchase a second hand book from someone else if I know that the proceeds go to an effective charity (although I find that this is a surprisingly weak motivator, in my experience people don’t purchase things even if they know the money goes to an effective charity...).
I run a bookstore to this end that is currently not that successful, that I really want to see become a larger thing. Although this is likely mainly because I’m not that good at running shopify stores.

I have a friend who’s interested in much more ambitious ideas than this.
