Kiva and Advanta helping business give back.

Submitted by tracy1314 on Sunday, 28 September 2008One Comment


This is a great idea! Inspired by Advanta.
Kiva and Advanta have paired together in order to encourage businesses to support give back. Advanta will match monies donated through Kiva using the Advanta card dollar for dollar! That is really amazing. I found it on IdeaBlob… another GREAT IDEA btw.

One of the things I heard members of the UG Diaspora telling some of the politicians at the UNAA convention in Orlando was that some of these projects were too vast. No individual no matter how well they are doing abroad can take on some of these ambitious projects. Which in fact is true, but people can give back in small ways outside of their remittances. This is a great way for entrepreneurial diasporan’s to double their giving and make a difference!

 

Updated: Fixed “Advanta” link. Thanks “Bank Supporter”.
