If you are wondering what kind of impact your business can have for a not for profit organization, check this out. This is the third year in a row that this local business has turned over the proceeds of mulch sales for the day, totaling roughly $10,000. That kind of support is huge for Crime Stoppers Guelph Wellington. The relationship started with a #CSGW presentation where owner Marty Young was in attendance. He learned how the program worked and how it could be an impactful tool for #CommunitySafety. As a business that has been impacted by crime, he felt this was an organization that he could support. Aligning your business with the #CrimeStoppers brand isn't just a smart move for community engagement, it can actually be a boost to your profile. Consider partnering with your local program.

I experienced the best fundraiser ever a few months ago. It was a win-win-win (..win..win..win) situation. My church was fundraising for a summer camp to send high-schoolers to. The high schoolers put on a "Parent's Night Out." One Saturday night they let parents drop off their kids for 3 hours. The high schoolers watched all the kids and had fun together. This was free, and they also accepted donations. It was awesome, on so many levels. So many wins Win 1- The Donor: They gave me something SO valuable, time with my spouse, rather than just asking me for money. I GLADLY donated. Win 2- The Recipient: The high schoolers gave of their own time and effort. They participated and contributed, and this creates ownership. Win 3- The Values: This is 100% aligned with the values the church is trying to foster. Intergenerational relationships. Generosity. Community. Trust. Attention to time building strong marriages. If we can creatively build this sort of infinite win situation into our non profits and businesses, we'll have done well.
