Campaign to provide financial support to those on the front lines providing care and healing to individuals and communities impacted by the global pandemic.
NORWICH, UK -- FXhome has announced it is adding Partners in Health, Doctors Without Borders and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy as new beneficiaries of the FXhome ‘Pay What You Want’ initiative. It has also extended its campaign to support these new causes from one month to three months, beginning in April and running through the end of June 2020.
Given the global impact of Covid-19 on the FXhome community and the world at large, the company has decided to extend its program in an effort to support those who are putting their lives on the line to provide care and healing to those impacted by the global pandemic. A percentage of all proceeds of revenues generated during this time period will be donated to each cause.
What is FXhome ‘Pay What You Want?’
‘Pay What You Want’ is a good will program in support of the HitFilm Express community and is inspired by the community’s desire to contribute to the future development of HitFilm Express, the company’s free video editing and VFX software.
In response, FXhome designed an entirely new initiative that enables users to contribute financially, ensuring that those funds will be allocated for future development and improvements to HitFilm. FXhome is also contributing a percentage of the proceeds to organizations dedicated to global causes important to the company and its community.
How it Works: You Buy More, We Give More
Last month, a percentage of the proceeds from FXhome ‘Pay What You Want’ were provided in support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The larger the contribution from customers, the more FXhome will donate.
