Starting next week, companies will have a powerful and easy way to show corporate commitment to global health, with the launch of the MASSIVEGOOD’s Corporate Program.

Right on the heels of the Spanish launch, we’ll be unveiling MASSIVEGOOD Corporate at Global Health Action, the annual conference of the Global Business Coalition’s for HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis in Washington, DC on June 7-8th..

To introduce MASSIVEGOOD’s newest evolution, a special session will be held on Tuesday June 8th, featuring presentations from key leaders in the travel industry. Please visit the GBC website for more information and registration details.

With MASSIVEGOOD Corporate, companies and employees will be able to help save lives by taking an action that is part of their regular business activity.  To participate, companies can integrate the MASSIVEGOOD donation solution into their travel management system, allowing employees to make a “micro-contribution” to global health causes every time they travel for business.

There are other ways for companies to participate as well. MASSIVEGOOD Corporate offers a flexible contribution model, allowing participation by companies, employees, or both.

Please visit our website next week for more details and check out the Global Health Action website for more info on our MASSIVEGOOD event!
