That’s not entirely true. Perhaps GivMobile “gives to the
dogs” would be more accurate. Not just another wireless service provider, this
is a company that cares. Concerned not just with offering their customers spot
on service, the company also wants to give something back to the communities
where those customers live. The concept of corporate social responsibility is
not a new one. In recent years however, it has become an increasingly important
part of business strategy.
The Economics of Ethics
Why give? Of course some companies, (like some individuals)
realize there can be tax write-offs and other financial incentives when one
donates to charity. There is definitely a feel-good factor for many of us as
well. We live in highly developed countries with access to medical care,
education and opportunity. Sometimes our “first world problems” seem trivial at
best!
GivMobile, like an increasing number of companies big and
small, realize that they can give and still get back in return. Supporting
local and international charities can improve their image and increase customer
loyalty. Their logos are often displayed when they sponsor events and local
media outlets love to give valuable air time to a feel good story.
GivMobile’s Charities of Choice
The company has put their selected charities through a
comprehensive auditing process to ensure they put the money where their mouth
is. The organizations include those that support education, environmental
conservation and even arts and culture. Everyone can find something they
support. And everyone gets to choose which group gets the 8% of their monthly
bill that is donated by GivMobile.
The American Cancer Society, The Academy of Natural Sciences
and The United States Fund for UNICEF are three of the most widely recognized
organizations. You have probably never heard of The Taproot Foundation but
their mission is unique and important. Based in Chicago
Gone to the Dogs?
Those who walk on four legs have not been forgotten. The
Petsmart group of charities helps adopt homeless animals from Petsmart stores
across North America . This is another
organization that made the GivMobile list.
The Petsmart group works together
with animal rescues all over the country to transport animals in high “kill
rate” shelters to cities where they have a better chance of adoption. Airlines
often donate space to help reduce costs
and quickly get the critters on their way to a new home.
Free Mobile Phone Offers!
Yes, it gets even better. No contract cell phone plans are
available and most packages are “unlimited everything”. Talk, text or download
till you drop. Anywhere, anytime with pretty much anyone you’d like. Check out
their website for an awesome assortment of phones and more information on their
attractive no contract needed wireless plans.
Feeling Lucky?
GivMobile has a limited
number of Android phones they are giving away online. It’s also a limited time
offer, so the sooner you visit, the better your chances of winning. The slogan
on their website is “Save Money, Save the World”. Ambitious to be sure, but it
