Week 3 EOC Making Money For Good

Philanthropy and business pair perfectly at pencils of promise, a New York City-based nonprofit that funds and builds classrooms and schools in South America, Africa and Asia. During back-to-school season last year, PoP collaborated with cosmetics sample company birchbox on a special edition "Beauty School Supply Kit" that sported a ruler-themed design. In August Birchbox donated 15 percent of total sales from its online shop to PoP--enough money to build an entire school. (On average, PoP can build a classroom for $10,000 and a school for $25,000.)
I think this organization has a solid structure and a clear idea of how they want to help communities in South America, Africa and Asia. They have also partnered with big players such as google and starbucks which has been really successful, this type of fund raising business or charity organization its a great idea that promotes itself with simple products that make people want to buy them.
