"I don't care to belong to any club that will have me as a member."Groucho Marx
I am often asked to speak about the secrets of the success of this business, and after the nuts and bolts of internet advertising, memberships, etc. I talk about an overlooked part of a business plan and Profit & Loss Statement: Charity. I believe firmly that every business needs to budget for charitable giving in the same way it budgets for utilities, payroll, etc. Here are some of the charities and not for profit organizations we support.
