Habitat for Humanity projects millions
of dollars in new revenue from its fundraising partnership,
launched in Jacksonville, Florida.
 Habitat
for Humanity International, a non profit group that works
in partnership with families and communities to build new
homes, will be announcing a new partnership agreement that
promises to add considerable revenue to its coffers and accelerate
its home building programs.
Partnering with 695online.com, a nationwide, low cost Internet
Service Provider, Habitat for Humanity will offer their supporters
Internet service with 695online.com, who will donate $3.00
of each new sign up to Habitat's home building program. In
addition to the initial signup donation, 695online will donate
another dollar for each signup that retains their subscription
for at least one year.
Dick Weber, Regional Director of Habitat for Humanity International
Southeast Region, that represents the states of Florida, Georgia
and Alabama, will officially kick off the new program at the
Beaches Habitat office, 1671 Francis Avenue, Atlantic Beach,
on Friday, December 13th at 11:00 am. Also expected to be
in attendance is Robert Craddock, CEO, for 695online.com.
Mr. Weber sees the fundraiser as an exciting new way for
Habitat for Humanity's Southeast Region to garner much needed
revenue through its own supporters, their friends and associates.
Projecting that thousands of users could sign up to the nationwide
Internet service, through Habitat, the organization could
realize dramatic changes in their revenue stream.
Weber went on to say that not only does the donation, by
695online, produce new revenue for Habitat for Humanity but
that it gives those switching to the Internet service value
in a less expensive, high value service while supporting Habitat's
goals within the local community.
695online.com C.E.O, Robert Craddock says he hopes that his
company's effort to support Habit for Humanity will serve
as an example and challenge to other businesses to devise
innovative ways in which both Habitat for Humanity and area
enterprises can work together to build a better community.
Craddock says that the partnership helps the community with
new home construction for the less fortunate among us but
at the same time frees up more discretionary income that may
have otherwise been tied in higher fees paid to other national
Internet services. Doing some quick calculations he predicted
that for each 10,000 new subscribers in a community an additional
$2 million could be available for local spending.
