Funding Diagram:
Following a 20-30 minute presentations by CCCs, interested organizations may request co-branded travel websites—at no cost to the Charity. It is the responsibility of the CCC to check each organization’s qualifications prior to implementing that Charity’s website.
To qualify, a Charity must be evaluated by a CCC for participation in the Charity Services Program (CSP). The Client Organization must provide their CC Consultant with documentation of Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN, EIN) and Nonprofit category, for example 501(c)(3). A Case by case evaluation is required for organizations from outside the U.S. Upon acceptance, the Nonprofit Organization will be gifted a “CO-BRANDED” Website and receive ongoing service from their Certified Charity Consultant.
GT Trends provides travel products and services to the supporters of Approved Charitable Organizations. Whenever travel is purchased on a Charity’s fundraising website, GT Trends’ computer tracks the transaction to ensure that at least 50 percent of all commissions are donated to the Foundation for redistribution to the Charity. Approved Charities encourage their supporters to make travel package purchases on their branded websites. Within approximately 45 days after completion of said travel, GT Trends receives commission from travel providers and donates at least half of the commission generated on branded website to GT Trends Foundation for distribution to the linked charities.
Knowledge about the beneficiary organization is essential in the decision process. The CCC reviews and approves or disapproves of the organization in accordance with the criteria as stated in the policies section. Charity Services Program executives review Participating NPOs and may revoke participation in the program by unqualified organizations.
Once a Charity website is online, the CCC and the Charity receive an auto responder message directing the Charity to their branded GT Trends website.
The Nonprofit’s branded website is customized and ready for business. Prudent consumer spending can now generate income for Approved Charities, a concept whose time has come. Information about the ANPO and the site’s visitors is private and will be kept confidential.
Educate—Educate—Educate: Learn all you can about the nonprofit sector. Promote, promote, and promote the co-branded travel sites for greater volume and increased Charity funding. For sample letters, brochures, and sound bites contact a Charity Services Program Executive Director.
