Philanthropy - Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
Teenagers around the world who share a common interest in giving back to society, helping others in need and becoming philanthropists in their own lives … now have a fun vehicle to achieve their goals and see the results first-hand. By combining charitable giving with social media outlets and an interactive e-commerce platform, Teens for Tomorrow ("TFT") emerges as a truly global community that revolves around the notion of giving. TFT encourages teenagers of today to become the givers of tomorrow. It provides a way for teenagers to learn how to give back – on local and global levels. TFT also provides strong marketing, management, general business and philanthropic experience to high school students preparing to apply to colleges and who are eager to build their resume and qualifications.TFT is a platform that links manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and businesses of all sorts that have obsolete or overstocked inventory, or "slightly second" supplies and equipment ("Inventory") with charitable causes around the world. Small and large businesses across America all deal with inventory issues. This is a common situation facing businesses of all sizes: how to dispose of inventory that is not selling (but is taking up storage space and incurring operational overhead) and supplies that are no longer needed. Rather than discarding such Inventory, through TFT businesses are encouraged to donate their Inventory and excess supplies to worthy charitable causes – and to benefit from any applicable tax benefits at the same time. Networks of teenager "Giving Agents" will be created nationwide to contact local businesses to contribute Inventory to worthy causes. Such giving can take place in two ways.
