Posted by admin on March 11th, 2010 and filed under goodwill donations | No Comments »

Most people know that we accept donations to our Minnesota Goodwill stores and sell the donations in the stores. But what do we do with the funds raised through our stores?

Clothing Cures: Getting Started

Posted by admin on January 29th, 2010 and filed under clothes donations | 3 Comments »

Miari and Samantha begin to work on the project!

Clothing Cures is a unique organization run by four, 15 year old girls trying to make a difference. We collect clothing donations, then sell the clothing and give the proceeds to underprivileged people in Malawi. We really hope to improve the lives of others through this process and give back in a creative way.

Clothing Cures is just getting started and needs as much help as possible with getting the word out. We are really trying to help people in need by getting donations in the best way possible. As teenagers, we know that people love to shop, so why not create a shopping experience for others that can also give back to the world? We plan to set boxes in nearby stores for people in the neighborhood to donate their clothing. Then, in about a month, we will hold an event where locals can purchase these second hand clothes for an extremely reduced price. With the proceeds from this event, we can send the money to the people in Malawi who need the money more then we do. We will then repeat this procedure and hopefully donate as much money as possible to the people in Malawi.

kaioo.com: the first REAL Social Community – donating ALL profits to charities. Myspace and Facebook were yesterday – Join now and be truly social! ;-)

Posted by admin on November 5th, 2009 and filed under charities donations | 1 Comment »

http://www.kaioo.com will be a place where you want to take all your friends to. Even make new friends waiting for the bus, in the queue of the supermarket or while getting your teeth fixed – just to be able to invite them to kaioo. It will be a pleasurable feeling – to know, that, with your help, more and more users, perhaps the friends of the friends your friends, are joining kaioo.com. It will be exciting, when you log in to your account to check your messages and know, that this will help to generate more money for charities. And you’ll be the one who decides, which charity organizations will get the money. You can vote for as much charities as you want by joining special groups.

Every Social Community X lives off the user. Of course, they invest a lot of brains and esthetics – not to mention sleepless nights – into giving you an engaging platform. They also spend huge amounts of money for advertisement. But at the end without you they have nothing but thrown-out money. You are the capital. You are the marketing And the marketers.
And you do a good job. By joining group after group, inviting your friends, sharing your interests, pasts, and posts you give Facebook and MySpace substance. While doing exactly the same with http://www.kaioo.com you help solving the world’s problems. Now also the network effect kicks in and you can even tell your 450 friends, which you wouldn’t have if not for MySpace, Facebook or whatever, to join the Real Social Community. All there is left then, is the decision to which charities the Money goes to. And it will definitely be a lot money, Social Communities earn about US$ 2 Billion per year.
Take a second to digest this: You are the ones who generate that much wealth – just by being human and communicating with your friends. kaioo is now giving you the platform to be generous with it!

Join http://www.kaioo.com and spread the word!

————————————

You’re probably a member of some Social Network. Did you ever wonder how much money these networks make? 2 Billion US$ every year! Generated by YOU! Imagine what could be done with all that money! We create all the content of Social Networks. We spread the world. But the big companies cash in on what we created. Wouldn’t it be great if we – the users – could decide what is done with the earnings? We could use the money to help solve the world’s problems. …like starvation …and global warming. To make this possible we need: our own Social Community and users supporting the project.
Two guys donated 500000 € as start up capital In November 2007 http://www.kaioo.com launched as the first REAL Social Community.
kaioo.com is FOR FREE and donates ALL advertising money to charities! Our users help to develop the network, decide about the donations and have full control over the privacy rules. A community that is fully independent and does not give your data to third parties! Now, after months of development and with support by thousands of its users kaioo has become THE Social Network we’ve been waiting for
providing all the features we’re looking for. At this very moment, users from all over the world are discussing ways to make kaioo even better.
The time has come to be truly social! Make it possible!
