JW Speakers Bureau is passionate about personal and corporate education
— and contributing to the community. Together, we can give back.
If you book a speaker with us, you may choose
to donate 5% of the fee to the charity of your choice.
Your contribution through us is an ongoing benefit of your speaker’s
appearance, leaving a growing legacy in the community long after your
event is over.
You are free to choose the recipient of your gift from your own areas
of interest and passions, as long as it is a registered 501 (c) (3)
non-profit organization. Or, your contribution can be made through
the JW Foundation For Building Successful Communities, an advised
fund established with The Seattle Foundation, to support one of our
favorite worthy organizations listed below. Either way, although the
funds are administered through us, your organization
receives full tax credit for your philanthropic giving.
If the charity you choose to benefit is not on this list, we will
be happy to post information about it here on our Giving Back page,
where it may attract interest from other donors. Please contact our
office at 425-455-4515 for further information about Giving
Back.

Community Alliance for Self Help (CASH) is a community-based,
nonprofit organization that helps to build economic self-sufficiency
through self-employment for low-income women, people with disabilities
and other low-income individuals. We offer business development
training, credit services, technical assistance, business coaching
and peer support. We believe that low-income people with the right
combination of drive, determination and business skills are capable
of becoming successful business owners. We believe self-employment
offers a viable alternative to low-paying jobs, public assistance
and poverty. We believe in discipline, responsibility, courage,
accountability, unity and hard work.

Land
is a precious commodity throughout the world. Rural poor families
do not have access to credit to purchase their own land. They
become trapped in an endless cycle of poverty.
Agros works to help rural poor families in developing countries
break free from poverty. We do this by helping the rural poor
to acquire land, build village infrastructure, develop as individuals,
create strong community organizations, and develop economic capacity.
Our Mission Statement
Agros exists to restore hope and opportunity to the world's
poor.
Our Vision
Our vision is to see rural poor families own agricultural land,
attain economic self-sufficiency, realize their God-given potential,
and pass on to future generations the values and resources that
enable them to flourish.
