If you have reached this far into our site then you may be interested in even the smallest of aspects of our company. We want to make an impact with our clients and help them grow. We also want to impact the larger world around us. Our hope is that when you read this you will, if you haven’t already, find your own unique way of giving back.

At the end of 2008, a good year for our small and young company, we decided to set aside some funds to give away. At the end of the year we selected our top client and gave them a sum of money to spend within the Samaritan’s Purse® Christmas Gift Catalog*. Samaritan’s Purse® is a large and very effective non-profit ministry created by Franklin Graham (Billy Graham’s son). The Samaritan’s Purse® organization exists to save lives and ease suffering in the name of Jesus.

Each year Samaritan’s Purse® sends out a catalog that categorizes how your donation can be spent. Give $15 and ear-mark that donation specifically to help a child learn to read and write in the poorest of countries in the world. Send $75 dollars to rescue a child from bondage and abuse. Send $9 dollars to feed a hungry baby for a week. Send $70 dollars to purchase a goat for a family in need of milk. Send $250 dollars as you share in the cost of a new $10,000 freshwater well. It is a wonderful way to know that your money is actually being used in a specific way.

It was a real joy for us to have the funds to give away. It was even more exciting to give those funds to our top client and let them choose how they would be spent at Samaritan’s Purse®. Our top client went home with the catalog, pulled aside their oldest child and selected goats, freshwater wells, rescue from bondage, and other gifts. The experience was fulfilling for our client, their oldest child, and for our company.

We hope to do it again and again.
