Charitable Giving is Impactful
As a business owner, you can positively impact the lives of people in your community every day by supporting a charity. You are also sending a message about your values and intentions which will connect you to new customers involved in the nonprofit sector.
One of Starfish SEO & Marketing’s core values is paying it forward. We donate a percentage of all of our proceeds to Trinity Hope. We recognize the importance of nourishing the mind and the body, and by supporting this organization, we accomplish both.
About Trinity Hope
Trinity Hope is a 501 C3 nonprofit organization that feeds thousands of hungry children daily in Christian Schools in Haiti. For 50 percent of the children, this is the only meal they will eat in 24 hours. Approximately 62 percent of Haitians suffer from malnutrition. The children receive a unique mix of foods designed by a Vanderbilt University nutritionist: a bowl of rice or corn and beans with a high-protein blend of tomato paste, dried herring, oil, seasoning, and water.
The combination of nutrition, faith, and education is focused on resolving some of Haiti’s challenges: malnutrition and illiteracy.
Charitable giving programs demonstrate your company’s values to your customers. Donating a regular portion of your profit to a good cause will resonate with your customer base and may create new marketing opportunities to expand your visibility. As a business owner, you have the opportunity and power to stand up for what you believe in. We all can make our local communities and the world a better place.
Charitable Giving Research and Strategy
There will be many opportunities in your community to make a significant difference in people’s lives. Choosing the right charity will involve some research. Make sure the organization reflects your values, and there is transparency in annual reporting so you can ensure your donations are making a positive impact at a minimal cost.
Free Publicity
When you sponsor a charitable program, you raise awareness for a specific cause and promote your business in partnership with the organization and event. You will have opportunities to raise awareness through your social media platforms and website.
Share Photos
Sharing photos of your community’s involvement in charitable causes is a powerful way to generate press for your business and cause.

Giving your employees time to volunteer and participate in community events will boost morale and is a fun activity for the whole company.
