Do you really need me to go on?
These are businesses with leaders in Austin who made a decision to invest in the community. Not just for marketing purposes — or maybe at first for marketing purposes — but after enjoying the feeling of giving back, hearing thanks, increasing customer loyalty and building a little community of givers among their employers, customers and stakeholders, now they do it for good.
It’s time for your business to get started.
Next week, Tuesday morning, Austin Gives and Change My Town will host a “Philanthropy Best Practices” seminar from 8 am – 9:30 am at Grave Dougherty’s office on Congress Ave. A panel of three of Austin’s biggest business givers will share their experience, take questions, etc.
Expect to be excited when you leave. The best part about being a business owner who gives back is soaking in the love from your customers, partners and stakeholders. When you get to find the way to give back that fits your business goals, the best feeling is sharing your success with others. We’ve interviewed lots of business owners who give back, (see story links above) and you can tell how it’s given them a sense of fulfillment, purpose. Another reason to do well.
RSVP now for this event. Just go, listen. We’ll be there, too!
