Corporate Housing by Owner Commits to Raise Additional Funds for Clinica Verde in February

DENVER, Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Giving back to the world and helping others in need is at the heart of what we do, says CorporateHousingbyOwner.com CEO and founder, Kimberly Smith. To demonstrate that she means business, Smith has dedicated a portion of her company's February proceeds to Clinica Verde, a global prototype of an environmentally sustainable health clinic and community center in Nicaragua for women and children living in poverty.

As part of the company's commitment to helping others, Corporate Housing by Owner has committed to donating $1 for every transaction made during the month of February to Clinica Verde. This giving program is part of the company's ongoing "CHBO Gives Back" campaign.

"We believe progress is made one step at a time. Partnering with Clinica Verde complements our mission to support global progress," says Smith.

Smith says that individuals can donate directly online at http://www.ClinicaVerde.org as well as passively help raise funds by signing up to become a CHBO Member, renewing a current CHBO membership, or purchasing an upgrade from the CHBO website during the month of February. For every transaction made through CHBO, the company will donate $1 to Clinica Verde.

Smith traveled to Nicaragua in January to see Clinica Verde first-hand and talk with the people to better understand how it supports individuals and its community at large.

"I came back empowered by what I experienced. Clinica Verde is an example of how one idea can be nurtured to inspire global support. Clinica Verde is truly helping human beings of the world get the healthcare they deserve. My hope is that not only will we raise funds for Clinica Verde, but also that our efforts will serve to raise awareness for this organization," Smith says.

Smith's company, Corporate Housing by Owner, connects individual property owners offering short-term furnished and unfurnished rentals with potential renters across North America and around the globe.

"We support property owners and tenants by offering not only a customized marketplace but also by constantly developing new tools and educational content to maximize the success of each transaction. It is befitting that our efforts to help others extends beyond our business and connects with the world at large," says Smith.
