FSC Council Sells Micro-Financing Gift Cards

Opportunity International helps end global poverty and hunger through micro financing (micro loans to budding entrepreneurs).  FSC Council is selling gift cards.  When you enter your card number at the Opportunity International website, you are helping these entrepreneurs grow their businesses, which provide them to better support their families.  After choosing a client loan to support, you will be able to follow the client’s progress during the loan period via Opportunity’s email updates.  By engaging in Opportunity’s work, you will find that when clients build businesses with Opportunity loans, they often set in motion monumental changes. 

There is a special matching grant opportunity for these cards, multiplying the value of your donation.  With a $10 purchase, the Council is matching $20 and an anonymous donor is matching $10 -- making the card worth $40 on the website.

For more information to introduce this to your Council, contact Frank Arvidson at farvidson@ussco.com.
