My friend Ben Yip has been working on a really cool product that supports charities, saves money for customers and helps promote local businesses. It’s a win/win/win.

Ben created Aidtree, a service that allows local businesses to offer coupons that drive new customers to try their products.

Customers are able to buy the coupons at a discount and Aidtree gives 75% off the purchase directly to the charity.

Here is an example of how I used the coupon for my business, with the funds going to support the CSUF Entrepreneurship Program:

I truly hope this becomes the market leader for fundraising so I can stop trying to get family and friends to buy cookie dough and wrapping paper. This is an elegant solution to a need in the market.

But wait, there’s more…

While supplies last, Ben will be giving out a sleek portable laptop stand to anyone creating and posting on a new account. Contact Ben at Aidtree for details:
