Week 3 EOC: Making Money for Good

There are lots of really,really ,really rich people with money that they do not use for the better of the world. It seems like we always have to really on the little man to give back money. Many ways that people found to give back are through everyday purchases that require little to no effort from the everyday person. Having personal experience with this company, Target has given back millions of dollars to schools in grades k-12. All of their profits come from purchases made at their store more specifically with their REDCard that allows customers to save 5% on every purchase. Target specifies their program on their website saying its as easy as "Simply select a K–12 school from our list of eligible schools and vote for it weekly until September 21 or until $5 million has been awarded, whichever occurs first. It takes just 25 votes to start. After that, Target will donate $25 to your selected school. Upon receiving 25 votes, each additional vote equals $1 more for up to $10,000 per school. If your favorite school is not on our list, please choose another school." It is just a way for people with little income to give back to those who need it with rewarding me with the items i already needed and a sense of gratitude that im doing the right thing.
