...we’re spending less on mainstream advertising this year, of course, but we hope those who like what we’re doing will help spread the word.
Franklin, NC (PRWEB) January 27, 2016
This tax season, the do-it-yourself online tax filing service 1040.com has launched their Give Back campaign with Healing Waters International(HWI), a nonprofit organization that helps provide communities in developing countries with safe drinking water and health and hygiene education.
For every 2015 tax return filed through 1040.com – including free returns – they will donate $2 to clean water projects around the world. “$2 can provide two months of clean water for someone who desperately needs it,” said Kayla Fruchtman, Director of Development and Marketing for HWI, when describing the new initiative. “What’s great is that 1040.com is not asking their customers to pay extra. You file your taxes on their site and they give $2; it’s that simple.”
Healing Waters International (HWI), based in Golden, Colorado, has worked with over 170 communities around the world – developing affordable, state-of-the-art water filtration systems that transform dirty water into safe water. This past December, 1040.com sent employees to the Dominican Republic to visit some Healing Waters project sites.
“After our trip with Healing Waters to the Dominican Republic, where we saw firsthand the impact they are having, it became a priority for us to support their cause by pledging a portion of our revenue,” said James Stork, Senior Vice President of 1040.com. “Their holistic clean water solutions are transforming communities, and we want to help build awareness for their work. So, we’re spending less on mainstream advertising this year, of course, but we hope those who like what we’re doing will help spread the word.”
