Design with a 2nd Purpose: JUNE

The first month was a success: the 10% donation was applied to Heifer International's "Where Most Needed" fund -- in a value equivalent to 5 flocks of chicks, ducks or geese; 3 colonies of honey bees; or a 1/5 share of a cow!

Due to the response, we'll keep this promo going through June.

June's humanitarian effort will be Kiva: "Kiva lets you lend to a specific entrepreneur, empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty." The cool thing is that the 10% that is lent at the end of June will be re-paid, at which point it will be re-lent to a new borrower. Whatever funds are lent will remain in the Kiva system as long as I can keep re-lending it.

Again, as a client you will receive 10% off the cost of new jobs in June, and 10% of the job value will be donated to a non-profit or charity.

Design with a Second Purpose

Starting May 15, 2009 Nick Zynda Design will offer a new feature to give back to clients and those in need. In response to the current financial state which has hit businesses, individuals, and non-profits, each new job quoted will include a 10% discount to the client, and a 10% donation to a monthly non-profit or charity.

This month 10% of your job will go to Heifer International,with the goal "to help end world hunger and poverty through self-reliance & sustainability."

Check back often for up-to-date information on Nick Zynda Design's efforts to give back, and see which non-profit/charity will benefit from your job! Or drop a line to suggest a worthy organization for next month...
