A new deal site has launched and ia great place to find deals on local restaurants...
Deals For Deeds is a group-buying website, similar to a Groupon or LivingSocial, that also acts as a fundraising program for local non-profits.
For their launch, Deals For Deeds has teamed up with 12 Baltimore area non-profits, which will all be featured on a special voting portal. Anyone in the Greater Baltimore Region will be eligible to go online and vote for their favorite of the featured
organizations; for each vote cast, Deals For Deeds will be funding a microdonation of $0.50, with absolutely no cap on potential earnings. The voting portal will also go live on the 4th, and is accessible directly at http://dealsfordeeds.com/page/baltimorevote.
“We thought long and hard about how to effectively allocate our budget to market our entrance into Baltimore, and realized that a microdonation portal accomplishes our goal of letting people know we're in Baltimore, while staying true to our mission of supporting local causes, ” said co-founder Harrison Miller. He also added “It's been such an amazing opportunity to interface with the non-profits here in Baltimore; there are so many incredible organizations doing important work through both traditional and ground-breaking methods, it really is inspiring.”
For at least the first several weeks while the voting portal is active, a minimum of 5% of every deal will be contributed to the Deals For Deeds Baltimore Community Fund, which will then be distributed to the 12 non-profit partners pro-rata based on the number of votes they receive.
