About Our Community Partnerships

Impact Makers is a for profit company but has no shareholders and contributes profits to local, healthcare related charities. We endeavor to partner with as many local non-profits as our continued success will allow. Our impact on the community will continue to grow as our firm grows. As we move forward, the number of organizations we are able to support will be the measure of our success.

Our community impact is guided by four important principals. They allow the community to support our efforts with the least potential for conflict and with full disclosure of our process.

We will partner with local, non-profit, community organizations – ensuring our profits will always be used to improve the quality of life in our own backyards.
Our partners will be secular, apolitical organizations in existence to help people help themselves to improve their lives.
Our Board of Directors is empowered to make all the decisions regarding the organizations we select to be our partners.
The Board will hold our executive leadership accountable to maximize our profits while growing our firm and will allow the public to view our records.

Impact Makers wants our community impact to surpass the financial support we provide our partners. We encourage our firm’s employees to support and partner with non-profits by spending time with them.

We provide every employee the opportunity to spend part of the week, each week, working with our partner organizations, or any community organization they prefer, while being paid by Impact Makers. In this way, our support and partnership with local non-profits deepens well beyond the fiscal support our firm supplies and provides the opportunity for our people to make a personal impact on their community.
