During this extremely difficult time with coronavirus (COVID-19), we extend our best wishes to everyone in our global community. Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our users, team members, and members of our community. Our thoughts are with those impacted all around the world. We hope that you and your loved ones will stay strong, healthy and optimistic in this extraordinary time.

To help fight COVID-19 with the rest of our community, we’ve decided to fully dedicate this month’s Origin Rewards campaign as a fundraiser to support the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) — a foundation that is working to accelerate the development of vaccines against COVID-19. CEPI first launched in 2017 with initial funding from the governments of Germany, Japan, Norway and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. To combat the COVID-19 outbreak, CEPI has been moving with great urgency in coordination with the World Health Organization (WHO), who is leading the development of a coordinated international response. CEPI has recently made an urgent call for $2 billion of funding to continue the development of a vaccine against COVID-19. This new funding will enable CEPI to expand the number of vaccine candidates and fund the clinical trials that are required to move forward.

At Origin, we admire the critical work that CEPI is doing for people during this outbreak, and are dedicated to support its mission in accelerating the development of vaccines against COVID-19. With successful development and equitable access of these vaccines, we can fight COVID-19 together.

Shop at ‘Stay at Home’ & Support a Charity

For every purchase you make on Origin’s ‘Stay at Home’ shop, we’ll donate 100% of the proceeds to CEPI.

Powered by Dshop, we have created a new ‘Stay at Home’ e-commerce shop that features various household and clothing merchandise items. We hope this will further raise awareness about the importance of social distancing in our community and help flatten the curve across the globe. All proceeds from the sales will be donated to CEPI at the end of our campaign. For instance, if you buy a $20 priced merchandise, Origin will donate 100% of proceeds ($20 US Dollars) to CEPI.
