I’m concerned that Blum may dial back his Twitter game. May it never be.
Hi @brentblum,
I have a idea/suggestion for the WeWill collective and I couldn't think of anywhere else to put it.
Little back story... I worked with Non-Profits for two years and the hardest thing for these non-profits was to figure out how to turn their funding into a habit for their donors. Churches have their Give Baskets, but apart from that, most Orgs rely on their one big fundraising event every year to raise adequate funds for their survival.
One of the ways I saw a few orgs build habitual funding is through the creation of their own credit card. With every purchase that the card makes, the 1% cashback would be donated to the charity. They also had a round up option for every purchase as well to create more funding that the donor could justify. Most of the donors would spend between $1,500 and $2,000 a month on the card, equating to $15 to $20 in automatic donations to the organizations plus what ever they got in round up (Usually about $5-$8). These cards also had milestone prizes as well (Donate $100 through the card = prize).
Just curious what you and other Cyclones think of that idea and if it is something Cyclone fans could get behind.

Amazon has something (Amazon smiles?) that when you sign up, it gives you a small percentage of of each sale.
Yeah- my wife used to do some stuff with this Boxer (dog) rescue out of Omaha and they have one -
I use Amazon Smile to support a Foundation for my Fraternity that provides scholarships - over the few years, my smile account has generated ~$100 for the Foundation. While not earth shattering, overall the Foundation has received like $9,000.
Appreciate the thoughtful idea! At this point we are open to anything to help build up the base and get this off the ground. I’ll absolutely look into this. Thanks!
I also saw people using it for their company credit card as well as their personal. Majority of businesses don't pay attention to the cash back they receive on the credit cards, and can spend $10K ($100 to the non-profit) at a blink of an eye.
It's a no brainer for passive income.
