Givenly Partners with Work In The Schools

As part of Givenly's continued efforts to support our community, we are partnering with the Work In The Schools (WITS) organization to support their cause of helping students. As part of this partnership, customers will now also have the ability to donate their discounts to WITS if they so choose. 

Building on our previous partnership, working with WITS now allows customers of Givenly to donate their discounts to two very worthwhile causes in the Chicagoland area. WITS promotes literacy in schools through one-on-one tutoring and mentoring for the students. Volunteers spend a few hours helping students read and work on their math skills. The students are very motivated, keen to learn, and very appreciative, and the parents and school administrators are very grateful for the additional support and time spent by the volunteers and WITS staff. I personally have volunteered a number of times and attended other WITS events to promote this cause and have found the experience extremely rewarding and valuable each time. 

When customers sign up with Givenly for pre-scheduled gift basket deliveries and pre-pay for them, they are eligible for volume based discounts as shown in the image on the right. Customers may either keep these discounts or have the option to donate them to the charities we partner with. The charities in turn send them a letter of appreciation and for tax benefits for the amounts they have donated. 

As we continue to acquire more customers, we hope to be able to provide significant support for such great charitable organizations. We are always looking for other opportunities to make a difference in our community and welcome any suggestions or feedback on how we can continue to do so. For more information, please do look us up to learn more about us, our service, or how to get started and don't forget to like or follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
