Hello! This is Simone from CouponBirds Seedling Project, and I’m writing to invite your organization to join The Seedling Project and receive donations. This Project is to encourage millions of online shoppers from the CouponBirds community to earn cash and donate part of their earnings to charity organizations. In recent years, due to the impact of the epidemic, we have found that some have stopped donating to NPO organizations like Giving Assistant. CouponBirds has been insisting on doing this great cause for 3 years, and we’ll keep doing that. Now, more than one hundred nonprofit organizations are currently working with us and have received hundreds of dollars in donations since they joined. Some nonprofit organizations: Children's Innovation Center, Kids Saving the Rainforest and Jacknife-zion-horse heaven Historical Society, etc. The entire application process of the Seedling Project is very simple. The earlier you join the project, the more donations you can get. If your organization is interested in it, please email us at charity@couponbirds.com and follow the instructions to apply. Our team will review your application within 3-5 working days and notify you of the result by email. Have a good day!
