Corporate Giving
‘Tis the season for giving. And in the true spirit of Internet companies, we here at BotProof found a way to scale our contributions to our communities.
In conjunction with a newly formed partnership with the Community Foundation of Utah (mission: “to harness Utah’s entrepreneurial spirit in service to the common good through smart philanthropy”), I was invited to join almost 140 like-minded entrepreneurs and senior leaders from Utah’s non-profits in 5-minute “speed mentoring” sessions on topics such as marketing, strategy, and operations. The objective was to provide non-profits with meaningful, strategic advice to help them through their various challenges.
In three hours of intense work, I was amazed to hear of the various services offered to our state, and inspired by the dedication these leaders have to their respective missions. I was pleased to be able to help so many organizations in a short time period.
And our contribution does not end there, we are also a donor — and, again, in a way that capitalizes on the scale of the Internet. By contributing equity to the Community Foundation, our success will help fund their success.
Happy Holidays!
