"Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like Slavery and Apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.”
Nelson Mandela
Here's what happens
When you join the GettingGives Community and subscribe to get all of your daily deals from Groupon, Living Social, CrowdSavings and many more, you get ONE consolidated daily deals e-mail that includes all the coupon deal companies with all the deals for your postal/zip code, eliminating a whole number of extra e-mails you might be receiving.
When you buy a Groupon or other deal you pay there regular price but they give GettingGives a commission and My Arms Wide Open gets 50% of that commission as a donation and there is no additional cost to you, the 'Groupon' purchaser.
All Proceeds Are Split 50/50
The exact amount varies by deal, but GettingGives splits all proceeds 50/50 with your favorite cause.
On average, GettingGives receives a 10% commission on every deal sold. In other words, when you buy a $20 deal GettingGives will receive $2 and make a $1 donation to your favorite cause!
No Additional Costs
Get the exact same deal at the exact same price, but give back every time you buy!
