A. CallforCharity.com offers this service to Provide
its members a content rich, low cost, high quality telecommunications solution and most importantly help worthy charities raise funds with no work or cost required by the
organization or the member. We all say it “I would give money to that organization but I just can’t afford it right now” or “I have to remember to send .... that donation check”
and in our busy lives it gets forgotten. Well it won’t be forgotten any more and the money will always go because it doesn’t cost you anything.
Q. What’s the catch?
A. Well there is no catch. CallforCharity.com is an organization that
provides a means for charitable groups (any charitable group as long as they are a public charity and in compliance with IRS 503 (c)(3)) to receive contributions from
CallforCharity.com directly based on the monthly billing on the members signed up for that group. The donation basis is up to 2% of the recurring monthly usage billing (and does
not include taxes, fees or one time charges) for all the members signed up for this group. Payments are made annually and in a minimum of $500 increments per charity.

A.
Absolutely not. If your organizations members have combined monthly billing of $100 or $1,000,000 the organization will receive up to 2% (depending on plan) of that billing.
Q. Where does all of this money come from?
A. This money comes from the carrier, Covista
Communications, who pays CallforCharity.com for improving their volume of clients. Covista Communications pays CallforCharity.com in order to get more business in lieu of costly
television ads or other program promotions and depends on various sales efforts to get new business.
Q. Who actually sends the money to my charity?
A
. CallforCharity.com makes payments to the organization.
Q. Why are the rates so low and the payment to the charity so high? (as compared to other plans making this
type of offer)
A. The reason for this is that the rates are Covista’s normal rates which are very low and other people who offer this are generally sub agents or
sub-sub Agents of a Master Agent and receive small commissions and therefore, raise the price to keep their take as high as possible.
Q. Why doesn’t CallforCharity.com do this same thing?
A. The reason is what is behind
CallforCharity.com . CallforCharity.com is a small organization that uses the resources of intelligent and well educated individuals who are successful but not driven by a Wall
Street mentality that there is never enough.
Q. Why did so many Cognigen Agents Complain to us?
A. They realized that they are just pawns and have wasted months or years for nothing except to make others very rich.
