REMO is a member of the Footprints Network, an alliance of ecommerce businesses who, in partnership with their respective customers, fund community projects around the world via the collection of tiny donations during checkout. Watch this short video where Christy McCarthy, Relationships Manager of the Footprints Network puts it all in a nutshell:
Thousands of tiny Footprints donations add up to provide enough money to fund small but REAL & TANGIBLE projects such as the building of a primary school in a Cambodian village or training community health care workers in South Africa. During the checkout process CustOMERs can choose the projects which resonate with them most strongly and directly their dollars in that direction. View the current list of Footprints projects HERE. The projects change all of the time. Check out the slide show. It gives you a good idea of the kind of good work that is made possible via the collection of these relatively modest amounts of money. (As an aside, to order a great DVD showcasing 4 indicative projects, go HERE.) The Footprints website tracks the fund raising in real time (your donation auto-added to the count!) ... with a full report provided upon attainment of the fund raising goal. 100% of the funds raised via the online fundraising system are distributed to projects run by reputable charities with all administrative costs for the program covered by Footprints Network founding member, "The World Nomads Group" (a travel insurance business based here in Sydney). With REMO and Footprints, it was love at first sight.
REMO founder Remo Giuffré says: "The alliance with Footprints enables CustOMERs to make small donations that collectively have a major impact on improving the lives of those who most need it. It offers our CustOMERs the opportunity to participate in something bigger and more meaningful than just the purchase of a product online. Charitable giving and the support of those less fortunate is an important part of the REMO brand. Being part of this initiative meshes perfectly with our values and addresses a core CustOMER desire, the desire to give as a part of a caring community." World Nomads and Footprints founder Simon Monk says: "We were thrilled by the enthusiastic response of REMO to our ideas. The reputation that REMO General Store has earned as an innovator and its international profile will help generate awareness for the Footprints Network. We are seeking to grow the Footprints Network, and to attract the involvement of major ecommerce players around the world. We're very happy to have REMO involved as a member of the Network, but we also feel that REMO can help us connect with some big decision makers in due course." Download the rel |
