Nondonational Philanthropy

You're right! Nondonational Philanthropy is an oxymoron but it did grab your attention and it's our hope this message will broaden your interest. Let us explain how it works for our clients and for the poor that make up such a large part our world.

We have formed a partnership with a large humanitarian organization to help bring about hope, dignity and lasting change through microenterprise development programs. The revolution of microenterprise development is built on the foundation of a simple truth: Many of the world's poorest people are a good credit risk. A lifetime of struggling just for food and shelter fosters the kind of single-minded drive that it takes to start or build a small business. Rather than being merely victims, the world's poor are the key to their own emergence from poverty. Given a working chance - just a start - they can begin to build their own future.

Current statistics from the World Bank reveal that 1.2 billion people live in desperate poverty on less than US$1 a day. By helping a poor family to increase their income, microenterprise development has an immediate and lasting impact on quality of life - the ability to afford food, shelter, education and healthcare. As business income increases, the business is able to expand, and the effect spreads beyond the family into the local community, through employment and contribution to the local economy. Thus, the benefits of microenterprise development help grow not just businesses, but stronger communities as well.

Each year we give a sizeable portion of our corporate earnings to help with the funding of microenterprise. Just being a corporate client of ours qualifies the company as being one of our partners in breaking the chains of poverty. It's as simple as that! We will ask nothing more from our clients, then just be our client. Together, we partner in our Philanthropy story.
