Giving Back Is Our Passion

Social Impact Business
The foundation of my small business is support. In my career I have always viewed my role as one of service rather I was in a traditionally supportive role as an admin or when I was in management. When I created this company it was clear that I wanted it to serve a higher purpose than 'just' making money. I wanted to help my clients succeed, that really matters to me, and I wanted to help others who are beset by their struggles, much as I once was in my early growth days.

So, I give to my clients in several ways, I offer a 50% discount on their first four hours of service, referral bonuses and I give 10% of every dollar they pay to a charitable cause (partial list is below) and send them a quarterly refund of the total 10% to save them from the paperwork tax time but still allow them to be partners in the giving.

Charitable Causes- partial list (full list is located in the Dropbox link 2015 Charitable Giving Options ).
