Ken Krogue, Re-Founder and CEO

Ken Krogue was part of Comanity over ten years ago and helped it expand and grow by bringing on George Wythe College, the biggest success story of Comanity during the early days. Ken Krogue saw the vision even then and vowed to keep Comanity alive until the world could catch up to the concept.

So, on September 11th, 2007, Comanity was re-founded by Ken Krogue, Mike Peterson, Steve Madsen, Dan Mortenson, and Chuck Childress to once again offer the opportunities for young and old to fund their schooling, missionary work, and charitable service by helping friends, family, and businesses save money on bills they already pay.

Mike Peterson, COO of Comanity Mike Peterson is the reason Comanity has access to so many great telecom and data products. He is a Harvard MBA graduate and has been the principal in Telemetrics, of Chicago, Illinois for the past fifteen years. Telemetrics also has an office in Bountiful, Utah. Mike is in charge of product development and operations for Comanity and has a soft spot for the current Feature Cause, the 'Build the Campus' Fund for George Wythe College because he has family from Monticello, Utah, the 520 acre future site of George Wythe University.

- Home - Causes - Products - Partners - Join Now - About Us

“Comanity” means “cooperative humanity.” We are a unique membership organization that uses the collective buying power of a rapidly increasing membership base to negotiate preferred pricing on essential products and services for businesses, employees, individuals, and families. Comanity was created to answer the challenges of funding for non-profit organizations (Causes) in an increasingly competitive marketplace. We do this by partnering with reputable organizations in support of worthy causes. As these Cause organizations refer their members, alumni, patrons, employees and supporters to our services, we return a substantial portion of the revenue to the referring organization.

We recruit ‘Working Partners’ to assist in fulfilling Comanity’s mission. They are typically students, supporters, or part time professionals who earn income and gain valuable experience by learning how to sell and market to businesses and individuals on behalf of the Cause they have chosen to espouse. Vendors support the Working Partners by providing experienced professionals standing by to ensure the best possible experience for everyone who joins Comanity.

We help those who desire to support a cause they believe in who do not have the funds to do so. We do this be moving money they already spend on every day bills and purchases to vendors who donate a portion of that spending back to the cause. We have shown that people will voluntarily move their spending to a product or service of equal value if it supports a cause they believe in. Because we focus on budgeted necessities like telecommunications, cellular, internet, financial services, business services, and offer discount prices, participants can make substantial contributions to the cause and actually reduce their monthly outflow at the same time. Indeed we help supporters live our motto, "Save a Little, Give a Lot." Prices continue to go down as everyone pools their buying power, creating a genuine “win” for all and inspires our slogan “Together, We Do Better!”
