$1,500 Donated Monthly to Eligible Charity via EverythingGreat.com

August 23, 2012 // Franchising.com // MINNEAPOLIS, MN - Great Clips, Inc., the world’s largest salon brand, is proud to announce Great Giving, an online donation program found on EverythingGreat.com , a website that celebrates the great things happening in Great Clips’ salons and communities.

Great Giving is a unique addition to Great Clips’ Great Needs. Great Deeds.® charitable giving program. While Great Clips, Inc. and individual franchisees/salons are already dedicated to giving back, the goal of Great Giving is to expand Great Clips’ charitable footprint and create a social and engaging online giving campaign.

“It’s a big world, and one of the most important benefits of being a successful company is being fortunate enough to contribute on a bigger scale through our corporate offices,” said Great Clips CEO Rhoda Olsen. “Great Clips, Inc. is thrilled to count several esteemed organizations among our charity partners and friends.” Go to GreatClips.com to learn more.

In addition to its traditional charitable partners, Great Clips is searching for independent charities that are writing the book on what it means to be great through their creativity and passion. Every month, Great Clips will select one 501(c)(3) charity (or equivalent designation for Canadian organizations) and reward their dedication to greatness with a $1,500 donation. The winning charity will then be featured on EverythingGreat.com. Even greater, the charity will be eligible to receive a larger donation at the end of the year depending on the votes by the public in a poll (i.e., 20% of votes = 20% of Great Donation funds). To be eligible, winning charities must submit an explanation of how they used the original funding from Great Clips.
