Groupon is known for doing half-off deals on any number of local services, shops, restaurants and cultural events but did you know that they do half off deals on humanitarian donations?
A couple of months ago, they were offering $25 donations for a $15 purchase price for Kiva. Now they are offering a $30 donation for the organization Build On for the purchase price of $15.
From their site:
buildOn is a non-profit organization that empowers primarily urban U.S. high school students through in-class and intensive after-school programs. In addition to tremendous contributions of community service in their own cities and neighborhoods, buildOn youth actually build schools and bring literacy to children and adults in developing countries around the world. buildOn programs are designed to build confidence and real-world capabilities in American youth while also empowering communities world-wide to overcome the crippling cycle of illiteracy, poverty and low expectations by opening the door to education.
Check out their results section to see what they have done in their almost 20 years of operation.
Groupon is hosting this deal with BuildOn as a part of their Save The Money Campaign which also hosts deals for other organizations. Current deals include The Rainforest Action Network, The Tibet Fund and Greenpeace.
