Giving Back: Maponics Charitable Donations
If you have ordered from the Maponics Online Store or browsed Maponics.com, you may be aware of our commitment to bettering society through charitable contribution. But did you know that 10% of our total company profits go to charity every quarter?
Who Get’s that 10%?
Since our customer base spans the nation, we give to one local and four national charities (see this list with brief descriptions below). These non-profit organizations were chosen for their operating efficiency, which allows the maximum amount of each donation to reach those in need.
Percentage Break Down
Feedback gathered from our online store customers and employees is used to determine the break down by charity. The table below shows this distribution for 2007.
Time and Services Too
Each of us is also encouraged to take two paid days a year to volunteer for a worthy cause. Occasionally, a charity will come to us with a location-based problem that we are also able to solve pro-bono.
