Groupon to Feature Web of Benefit


October 11th through October 13th, Groupon (Boston) will host a fundraising campaign for Web of Benefit. They are a city based daily deal website with a corporate social responsibility arm called G-Force which creates nonprofit partnerships. We are honored to have been chosen to collaborate with them.

How It Works: Groupon works on a "tipping point" system which requires a certain number of people to buy the deal before the "deal is on." Our tipping point will be 40 purchases of a $10 donation. 100% of the donation will go straight to Web of Benefit. On October 11th, Groupon will open the fundraiser and it will continue until 11:59pm on October 13th.

Donations will go to fund our Transition to Self- Sufficiency Program, which awards Self- Sufficiency Grants to survivors of domestic violence for housing stabilization, education, computers, child care, transportation, health care and micro-financing small businesses. We have just reached our 915th grant given and we would love your help in reaching 920 grants with the this campaign!

Once the campaign starts, we will be posting the link to our Groupon fundraiser and examples of tweets and facebook posts you can use when the campaign if you want to help us spread the word!
