Donation Program Details

My vision is to harness the power of the Internet and couple it with the combined buying power of 10 million university students and 43 million parents of the secondary school students. During the course of their educational careers, the students and their parents will be using the afflilate company's products and services to generate the contributions that will build the future educational infrastructure necessary for the next generation's success.

The donation program works on the affiliate program referral fees generated by the affiliate companies that are linked to my company. Every time a customer clicks on an affiliate company icon and purchases a service or product, there is a referral fee of varying percentages to be generated by that sale. While I have made all attempts to select only companies that offer a referral fee, they can change their policy at will, and also change their percentages of their referral fees on their products and services as well. Thus companies may be changed or removed from time to time to make sure that all generate affiliate referral revenue. All disclaimers asides, all purchases from our afflilate companies will have a referral fee unless stated otherwise.

With that said, most of the purchases generate a referral fee from which my company VIDA Knowledge™ collects a small profit that I then donate a portion to a school or charity of the customer's choice. We ask that each customer who makes a purchase send us an e-mail at the time of purchase indicating where they would want the allocated percentage of our net profit from the potential referral fee donated as well as which company's banner was used since each has a different referral fee percentage. The allocated percentage of net profits which may be donated are 10% of our net profit from the potential referral fee if the donation is going to a university, scholarship, or school, or charity. We are using the rest of the fees to develop the technology services and products that enable students to be able to access their curriculum electronically both in visual and audio format. Depending on the company banner selected, the shared donation can range from one to six percent of the product or service price.

We will take each one of the individual donation e-mail requests and verify the referral fees by confirming the cancelled checks sent by the affiliate companies to officers at VIDA Knowledge™ and combine only the e-mail requests that have confirmed referral fees attached to them at the end of each quarter after we have determined our net profits. We will generally do this at the end of each fiscal quarter since it is the best time to determine the receipt of referral fees, our costs, and net profit. This timing also permits us to group proposed donations to each entity, resulting in potentially larger lump sum checks to receiving organizations that have multiple proposed contributions.

We are working on automating this task in the future. However, for now we are asking each person to send an e-mail to one of four categories depending on where they want their donation sent:

University donation email requests should be sent to: university@vidaknowledge.com

Scholarship donation email requests should be sent to: scholarship@vidaknowledge.com

Secondary and Grammar School donation email requests should be sent to: school@vidaknowledge.com

Charity and other donation email requests should be sent to: charity@vidaknowledge.com
