BUSINESS MEMBERSHIP WITH REALITIES FOR CHILDREN

 

Support Realities For Children Business Members

Gold Members

General Members

We ask that you make it your business to make a difference in the lives of abused and neglected children in our community. When you need a service or item please make certain that you choose to work with and patronize the Business Members of Realities For Children. You will be spending the same time and money you would anywhere else, while making a world of difference in the life of a child! When we all do a little we can accomplish a lot!

Realities For Children is able to provide for the unmet needs of local children who have been abused or neglected because of the Business Members that make up the base of this organization. 

Members pay monthly membership fees from their advertising budget for the Cause Marketing benefits provided by Realities For Children and our media partners.  It is the membership dues of these local business leaders that underwrite all expenses so that 100% of all donations directly benefit the needs of abused and at-risk children.  Furthermore, as a marketing expense this income does not compete with revenue generation of our Affiliate Agencies allowing for a greater level of agency collaboration and service provision than ever before. 

 

 But as a community we can only donate so much, so another way to see these services continue is through supporting the businesses that are leading the way in our community.  Please click on either the GOLD MEMBERS or GENERAL MEMBERS  tab above for a complete listing of all these businesses.  When you need the services they provide please choose to do business with them versus their competitors.  If you are looking for a particular service and would like help locating a Business Member of Realities For Children please call 970-484-9090.

Although the ‘ends’ of Realities For Children is to serve the unmet needs of abused children, our ‘means’ is through the marketing and promotion of local businesses.
