Contribution Guidelines

Our decision to contribute to a charity or non-profit organization considers several criteria:

  • Relevance. Does your organization make a difference in the community? Are your values consistent with ours?
  • Capacity Building. Does your organization help to support the long-term vitality of the community?
  • Sustainability. Does your organization operate on a self-sustaining model?
  • Involvement. Does your organization create partnership opportunities? (e.g., volunteerism, sponsorships)
  • Accountability. Can you provide measurable results?
  • Profile. How visible are you locally and/or regionally?
