We believe business has the greatest opportunity to change the world. We’re taking the steps to prove it.
— Shawn Smith Founder and CEO
As a company, we’ve funded charitable programs around the world, and in order to have the greatest possible impact, we work with nonprofit partners and focus on the following essential categories: food, safety, microfinance, and freedom. Our giving is tied to every placed collections account, every positive account resolution, and every initiated lawsuit.
Every day is an opportunity to change the world. These stories are proof of that.
