What it means to be a good corporate citizen has progressed
at Sherpa Marketing over the years.
For many companies it’s a bake sale, swinging a hammer or
paying to wear denim on Fridays. At Sherpa we started our philanthropic efforts
by donating in-kind with our time and skills - to help local charities promote
their events through traditional design and print and/or through the timely
creation of websites.
Over time our company grew and we encouraged and facilitated
(and still do) staff in the giving of their time and expertise to charitable
causes during work hours. A number of our employees sit on charitable boards
and committees. Staff may choose a cause that they want to support and we
encourage them to be active participants. It’s important to Sherpa that we make
real contributions with our time. We don’t just talk in committee, we deliver
action.
This hands-on approach enabled a significant amount of
hands-on experience. This active participation provided Sherpa with a skill set
that’s well earned.
Today, Sherpa participates, as it did in the past,
philanthropically, but - we also became a trusted advisor and partner to
several high profile charities. We committed to understanding the sector and
dedicated ourselves to being a leader in rapid deployment of integrated
sustained giving and capital campaigns.
We believe social good should be part of your businesses
core beliefs and strive every day to be a steward of knowledge and insight for
non-profits.
