Excel Communications: Steve Smith was a co-founder of Excel Communications, one of the most successful telecommunications companies in history. Excel's success at marketing long distance telephone services was due to the fact that Mr. Smith organized the company in a network marketing structure, allowing almost 2 million people to participate in, and profit by, the marketing of its services. Excel Communications beat Microsoft to the $1 billion sales mark by nine years, and became the youngest company in history to be accepted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Excel created more millionaires - in excess of 10,000 - than any company before or since. Steve Smith sold his interest in 1997 for almost $1 billion and retired to a life of luxury. Not having a significant challenge, however, proved to be problematic for the ambitious and successful Mr. Smith, and shortly after the turn of the century he began planning his next, potentially even more successful company.

Ultimate Match: In 2003, after years of research and development, Ultimate Match was launched. After several design changes, Steve Smith determined that Ultimate Match would focus exclusively on the multi-billion dollar travel industry world wide. The website Ultimate Choice Travel was born, agents began signing up, and the company began growing rapidly.

UMDonations.com: The agents participating in this website are all independent referring travel agents of Ultimate Choice Travel. We are joined in the common belief that the best way to express our appreciation for the opportunity to participate in Steve Smith's new venture is to share our success. Hence, the concept behind UMDonations.com. This site represents a clearing house for charitable causes that will benefit from travel purchases. Anyone can submit a request for the addition of any charity or worthwhile cause. Most are accepted for inclusion. (The only organizations typically rejected are those of questionable origin and those that are simply too small to generate charitable giving that will exceed the administrative costs to process those contributions. Donations of less than $25.00 per month are accumulated until they exceed $25.00 prior to processing.)

Customer Assurance: We are very sensitive to the existence of many scams and bogus programs that use the internet to prey on unsuspecting or gullible individuals. For that reason, ALL of the agents participating in this site have signed a contract allowing an independent accounting firm to oversee the management and distribution of all donations to all listed charitable causes. The accounting firm Dean, Dorton, and Ford, PSC has agreed to analyze commissions and donations of all participating agents for accuracy on a monthly basis. Feel free to visit their website (www.ddfky.com), or email them directly regarding this program at umdonations@ddfky.com.

Our Pledge: We at UMDonations.com have established a personal goal of cumulatively donating a minimum of $1 million to worthwhile causes within the first twelve months of operations for this site, and to exceed that goal each and every year thereafter, as long as funds allow. Our goal is to become one of the largest sources of private donations to charitable causes in the United States. That is where you come in. The more you use travel links through UMDonations.com, the more commissions you generate, and the more that will be donated to the worthwhile causes YOU choose!
