Mensor Cares is really a group of Mensor employees who believe in the spirit of working together and help others in need. As a way to support other non-profits, an own non-profit organisation was financed and formed through payroll deductions, Susan Fisher reports:
Early 2015 a discussion started about how exactly our contributions could possibly be used. Which associations should be funded and what percentage of our contributions would actually get there?
Could we achieve more employee participation if they were involved with making decisions as to where and how their money was spent?
Finally in September 2015, Mensor Cares was founded as a non-profit organisation. It really is run wholly by employees and contains no overhead administrative costs. One hundred percent of employee donations are returned to recommended charities. A board of directors was elected for multi-
year terms.
Various groups benefit
They meet monthly to examine donation requests from agencies and make recommendations for funding. For In The Zone , the requesting organisation must be a registered non-profit group as well. Various organisations received funding in 2016 ? including Focus that serve several thousands of clients and also smaller groups. Among those funded were the Smart Orchestra with musicians of all ages and skills and the Scheib Center, which gives mental health insurance and mental disability services to residents in your community who may not have insurance coverage.
Other recipients have already been Meals on Wheels, an area women?s group, and School Fuel, an organization that sends food to students. Mensor Cares have educated themselves about local resident non-profits and the needs of others. Through the contributions we have created an atmosphere of giving and fostered a pastime in serving our community.
