For IT buyers and their procurement teams
Share the projects you have already budgeted. Buy the way you always do.
What is being asked
A school organization you know has joined Skip the Fundraiser, a Kithix program. It is asking you to share the IT, cloud, AI, or telecom projects your company has already planned and budgeted, one or several. Kithix introduces suppliers that fit. If your company buys, the organization receives a donation every quarter after invoices are paid, while the referral stays active.
Who pays whom
- Your company pays the supplier
- its normal price
- The supplier side pays Kithix
- for the introduction
- Kithix sends the organization
- a share, each quarter
- 5% of qualifying monthly spend, and 7% on the portion above $250,000 a month.
Nothing is added to your invoice.
Disclose it
It can look like a conflict of interest if you keep it quiet, so do not keep it quiet. The donation goes to the school organization, never to you, and it comes out of what the supplier side pays Kithix, not out of your company’s price. Your employer may still have rules about purchases that benefit a group you are connected to. Tell your manager or procurement team before you buy, and follow what they say.
You stay in control
- You decide whether to talk to any supplier Kithix introduces.
- Kithix does not call you to sell.
- Your company buys direct from the supplier, at its normal price, through its own procurement.
- Kithix is never on the contract or the invoice.
One project, for example
A $15,000-a-month AI rollout models at $2,250 a quarter for the school organization, about $9,000 a year.
What the school organization can see
The organization sees the donation amount and which referral it came from. It never sees the contract, the pricing, or the invoices.
A listing is not an endorsement
Kithix introduces suppliers serving U.S. businesses. Being listed or introduced is not a recommendation. Evaluate each supplier as you would any other.
