Strong Businesses Mean Strong Communities – “Fergus Falls Business Gives” Recognition March 12
Together, communities and businesses can partner to solve community problems and address community issues. The Chamber’s “Fergus Falls Business Gives” program enhances this mutual goal.Most business owners give back to their communities in countless ways but they are modest at best in promoting their community giving. “Fergus Falls Business Gives” is an excellent way for businesses to share their stories of community involvement, and receive public recognition for that commitment and be recognized with their peers. Chamber members will be recognized during the luncheon at the Business & Community Expo on Wednesday, March 12, 2014 at the Bigwood Event Center.
Minnesota Business Gives is a statewide program which more than 30 chambers of commerce have implemented programs which recognize local businesses that give at least two percent of their pre-tax earnings for charitable and community involvement activities. We recognize local businesses that give at least 2% of their pre-tax earnings for charitable and community involvement activities. These donations come in the form of cash, in-kind services/products and volunteer hours. The program is designed to motivate, educate and recognize local businesses for the important and significant contributions they make to their communities. Recognition is based on the percent of income given in cash and in-kind donations; a small business that gives $1,000 each year receives the same recognition as one that contributes $10,000.
We encourage members of the community to continue to support all Chamber members as they generously give back to our community. We are proud to recognize and thank the 2014 recipients of “Fergus Falls Business Gives.”
