How to Give Back to the Community as an Entrepreneur

As much as you want to give to charity because it can benefit you tax wise, today I want to share with you other reasons why you should give back to the community as an entrepreneur.

My business is actually just starting to get involved with charitable giving and I am so excited! We are sponsoring families for the holidays by donating a percent of our sales! I have a cookie shop in my college town. When I started it, I was living in my car with very little direction, just a huge passion to be successful. I just graduated college as well. I started the late night cookie shop out of a local bagel shop in their off hours at night. I was living in my car in the parking lot of the shop at the time with my boyfriend, Bran. It was a crazy experience but it worked! We became a success! And how we have our first storefront location (a second coming in January in Tampa!) We started it to fund a year long backpacking trip around the world and to be successful while living the life of our dreams. We have a lot of bigger awesome charitable things planned next year and I am so excited to finally be able to give back to the amazing people in this world!

Great stuff. I am a stage four cancer survivor and we started an organic garden at one of our local hospitals. Everything that we raise we give to the cancer survivors and we try to educate them on eating smarter and healthier and making smarter and healthier choices. It is an awesome way to give back

What I do usually is when I borrow money from someone I repay much more then needed. Last time I forgot my vallet and I had no way to get home with a car as it had no gas in it. 4 people lend me 8€, 2€ each, so I could get home. Next day I got back and bought everyone a meal. Of course one meal alone was more but at least we all feel good. I cannot give out much as I don't have much but eventually I am going to be able to.

I usually donate a truck bed fall of toys to local children in the community just before christmas. The youth is the future of our business and growth.

Thank you for this video. So many great ideas! Currently I'm giving back by visiting and running errands for a disabled gal from church. I also play grandma to 3 kids who don't have grandparents.
Thank you (and your team) for continually giving to us here through YouTube.
