 The mission of GT Trends Charity Initiative is to advance the way charities are funded. By the cooperative efforts of several components, the initiative is well underway with dramatic results. Charity Services Program trains successful travel agents to work with nonprofit organizations. These Certified Charity Consultants (CCCs) are paid volunteers who present the program to pre-qualified nonprofit organizations, and activate the organization’s complimentary travel sites and assist with member registration.
Next, GT Trends automated system takes over to book reservations and sales and link transactions to the respective travel sites. After the travel or auto rental, etc. is completed, the service provider (i.e. airline) pays GT Trends a commission. At least half (50%) of the total commission is donated to the Foundation for distribution to the linked nonprofit organizations. All Foundation funds resulting from Nonprofit branded travel site commission is donated to the linked nonprofit organization.
The remainder of the commission pays for web hosting, website maintenance, administrative expenses, etc. Any shortfall in covering Program and Foundation expenses is underwritten by GT Trends. The benefactored nonprofit organizations pay nothing to the Foundation, Charity Services Program, their Consultant, or to GT Trends.
The GT TRENDS FOUNDATION provides support for
charities by combining charitable giving with
prudent consumer spending. The GT Trends Charity
Services has achieved this by giving consumers more
choices and options on how to purchase travel
products and services.
