Recently, several of us at 2Checkout had the first meeting of our Social Responsibility Task Force. The purpose of this committee is to determine where, when, and how corporate charitable initiatives should be applied. As this was the first meeting, many of the members are currently researching existing initiatives. There was also some discussion about the possibility of expanding donations on a more global level.

We would also like to expand our volunteerism and encourage individual time commitments to a variety of programs. We have also discussed partnering with some of our many vendors who are already using their businesses as a means to raise funds for causes that are important to them. We are looking closely at the idea of expanding our scholarship program, as well as focusing on programs that repair older computers to give to those in need.

To help with expanding our donations, we would like to know what causes are important to you and what you view locally or internationally as a “worthy cause”? Post your ideas here or send me an email at bion@2co.com.
