A fair question that may
be going thru your minds. First and foremost, although it
sounds trite or overused, we get the comfort and peace of
knowing we helped someone in need to make a difference; to
help them achieve something that they would not otherwise
have the means to do, and ultimately to make a difference
in someone's life - helping people help others.
In return we ask nothing. In reality we have been offered
everything from a small stipend or honorarium, to an item
of barter, to a small link back to our web site or a credit
or mention of our company name in an available acknowledgment
area.
We believe in the circular nature of life. In doing good
for others it will eventually come back to us in some form.
Often this means being referred to others or having our work
seen, or being retained for other paying contracts or just
offering us an ability to network with others in the global
community to get our company and designs seen. In our eyes,
including philantrophy in business is the only socially responsible
way to run good business. |
