$154,000 Lights Up Many Lives in 2020

2020 in Review | Over $150,000 donated to charities by Matthew Poll and Kevin Jones of Utah

It’s the beginning of a new year. With new beginnings comes an opportunity to reflect on those in need we have helped along the way.

It began the last quarter of 2019, with Operation Underground Railroad to end child trafficking, garnering $8,000 by February of 2020, and ended with a Sub-For-Santa donation of $6,500 ($1,500 more than the previous year) in December to help those in need. In-between, a donation to Tony Robbins Feeding America, brought in $120,000 in meals and a $12,000 donation. By summer, an additional $8,000 was gathered for Global Giving Coronavirus Relief, a worldwide crowdfunding community that assists 170 nonprofits around the world with training, tools, and support.

All this from Trader Lite Fees.

The $10, 30-day trial, is a great opportunity to “experience our product fully” before making a “larger commitment,” says Kevin Jones, founder.

The intention…is for them to be able to look behind the curtain without a whole lot of risk and decide if this is actually something they want to take on. We have a lot of people who don’t take it on. A lot of people who say no, and we’re okay with that. Because what we end up with is a customer who’s really interested in using our product to better their life.

Matthew Poll and Kevin Jones, co-founders, began to teach day trading in 2008. Since that time, they have helped many new day traders to get their feet wet through personal coaching sessions, live webinars, and full software access. With the added incentive to help those in need, Day Trade for Good continues to move forward.

“We’re looking for commitment,” says Jones. “We’re looking for people who actually want to put effort in so that we can create the best possible scenario with our product and with that customer.”

It’s been a difficult year for everyone, but daytradeforgood.com believes in reaching out to those in need. “As a business, we have donated here and there when people would approach us, about mid-2019, we got very intentional,” said Kevin Jones, founder.

This year’s purposeful focus allows beginning traders the opportunity to check out day trading – and help families in need at the same time. Donations this year were gathered from the $10 Day Trade trial package, and the added sign-up page for those who desired to “donate a bit extra beyond the normal cost of our trial, allowing our donations to be a bit bigger to great charities,” he said.

We have done several fundraisers over the years around Christmas time with food banks or Sub-For-Santa. A couple of years ago we did one where we got really specific details about the family we were helping and it just really had an impact.

Sub-For-Santa, which has joined hands with United Way for over 35 years, assists children, the elderly, and the disabled in Utah County during Christmas. “Families like Christie and her children who are without a car and trying to balance healthcare and heating costs, or Andy who was laid off from working and is trying to provide for his four children” are helped, according to Janie Brigman of United Way of Utah County.

Thank you for helping provide a memorable Christmas for Utah County families during this hard year!

Jones echoes Brigman’s thoughts. He appreciates the “concerted effort” of everyone. “Many people get involved and want to donate to our group,” he said. Next year, daytradeforgood.com is considering assisting a group called Prison Fellowship; an organization of hope and renewal that provides Christmas gifts and “faith message[s]” to children whose parents are incarcerated.

“The group stood out to me because I think if those children can feel loved and appreciated it can have a direct impact on the paths they choose in life,” he said.
