people4charity
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of people4charity, the people4business sister site, targeted at the charitable and not-for-profit sector.
This site is designed to offer high-quality professional services to registered charities. In addition to offering reduced rates to charities, people4charity will donate 5% of its profits to the charities that buy professional services through people4charity.
All registered Sellers on people4business now have the option to select a special charity discount on their usual hourly rate. All Sellers who have chosen to discount their rates then get top position on «www.people4charity.com»
Over 70% of Sellers, who have registered since people4charity was launched, have elected to offer a charity discount. Reductions range from 5%–85%, with an average discount of 15%.
If you know of any charities that could benefit from highly competitive rates for professional services, please contact us:
