Very Important Relationships, Inc. Partners With Feed The Children

GigaBenefits.com Set To Boost Feed The Children Fund Raising Efforts

Dallas, TX (September 15, 2009) - Very Important Relationships, Inc.(VIR), a premier provider of customer loyalty, employee benefits, and fundraising programs, announced today that it has teamed up with Feed The Children (FTC) to offer VIR’s newest community based portal GigaBenefits.com  to FTC supporters.

Giga Benefits provides a social community based network which includes a personalized online CashBack Rewards Shopping Mall for each FTC supporter. Due to GigaBenefits unique architecture, it can provide significant benefits and CashBack dollars to the supporters of FTC, while also generating important support for FTC at the same time.  

Feed The Children is a Christian, international, nonprofit relief organization that delivers food, medicine, clothing and other necessities to individuals, children and families who lack these essentials due to famine, war, poverty, or natural disaster. GigaBenefits.com offers FTC an exciting new way of supercharging the inflow of donations to FTC through its new incentive-based social network.

“Unlike traditional fundraisers, no one is expected to write a check to support Feed The Children.” says Tracy McKee, Manager of Special Projects at FTC. “Instead they shop with their favorite store online, get special pricing and earn personal CashBack dollars on everything they buy. Then they invite their family and friends to join them in their own on-line social community with on-line competition game room and personal Home Page. That’s all there is to it!”

GigaBenefits takes a portion of the marketing revenues it receives from the merchants on each purchase in the mall and makes additional contributions to FTC through it fundraising revenue sharing model. What makes this program truly unparalleled is that VIR also has a revenue sharing model for each supporter to help incentivize a true viral explosion to grow the FTC community and its supporters.  

GigaBenefits is the first ever fully incentivized social network designed to grow virally,” says Jody Tallal, CEO of Very Important Relationships, Inc.  “VIR is honored to be able to offer this unique platform to help Feed The Children to help it achieve its important mission.”

 “What made GigaBenefits so attractive to Feed The Children is that it is a true Win/Win for everyone”, says McKee. “We are excited to be one of the first nonprofit organizations to offer this exciting comprehensive social network, with its own CashBack Rewards Mall and more to our supporters. This allows them to take advantage of great saving on purchases from respected merchants, earn personal Cash Back dollars, and generate important contributions for FTC at the same time. This is a true “No Brainer”.
