The GivingCode
We Are CharityWeb
In 1996 online giving was a novelty. Few companies existed to help non-profits raise money online. We set out to change that by creating a company founded on the desire to blend a business opportunity with a chance to do some good.
Today, we extend that opportunity to small businesses in your community. Our goal is to pair business with local non-profits by developing a marketing tool with the triple effect of increasing sales, increasing donations, and strengthening local communities.
Just as online donations automated charitable giving, a no less revolutionary change is coming to the way local businesses interact with the groups they support. GivingCode tools enable businesses to harness the power of smartphones and social media, and provide simple, efficient, and effective management of their charitable giving programs. As a result, businesses derive real and quantifiable value from their goodwill.
Who are our business clients?
Restaurants.
Many restaurants use charitable giving to increase business on slower nights. The Giving Code embraces that concept! We provide easy to implement tools designed to enhance your existing charitable giving programs, making them more agile, more profitable, and more valuable maketing vehicles.
Retail Stores.
Customers who "shop local" already value the service that only a bricks-and-mortar retailer can provide. Let your local clients know that you share their goal of preserving what is great about the neighborhoods where we work and live.
Repair Services.
Competition for new clients can be costly. It is difficult to track the effectiveness of traditional advertising and coupon promotions. Often, the perceived value is far less than the stated savings, resulting in mistrust. Iinvestment in the community through Giving Code partnerships offers a better way to promote customer loyalty--the gold-standard of any repair shop.
Who are our charity clients?
Schools, Clubs (e.g. US First Robotics Teams, LAX club teams, Soccer club teams, Choral groups, or Bands raising money to compete or perform abroad), as well as traditional charities with ongoing campaigns(Churches, Social Service agencies)
Fundraising is inevitable, and soliciting funds can present vexing challenges for groups trying to raise money. The GivingCode is out to change the paradigm of fundraising and sponsorship. Easy to use, cost-free, and risk-free, the GivingCode can work alongside existing fundraising programs--or replace them entirely.
