Many businesses want to give back to their communities, but it is easy to get overwhelmed with how many people and organizations ask for donations of cash, services or products. If you have a clear vision of how much you want to give—and what kinds of organizations/causes you want to support—saying yes or no becomes easier (not easy, mind you, but definitely easier). The ZCoB (Zingerman’s Community of Businesses) plans to give an amount equal to 10% of prior year’s Net Operating Profit and requests that any organization approaching us for a donation complete a Donation Request Form.
