Wpromote Joins the Pledge 1% Movement, Commits Employee Time To Philanthropy

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Jan. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Wpromote today announced that it has joined Pledge 1%, a corporate philanthropy movement dedicated to making the community a key stakeholder in every business by pledging 1% of employee time.

"Our employees are increasingly socially conscious, and joining Pledge 1% is the next way we're giving back to our community," said Michael Block, COO of Wpromote. "Our employee-led charity committee, Wprovide, has been a foundational part of our company for years, and we're always looking for ways to change more lives."

Through this initiative, Wpromote will expand its focus on helping non-profits grow both their online and offline presence. In October 2016, Wpromote introduced Wprobono: Digital Day in LA, which hosted local non-profits for an entire day of workshops, courses and discussions.

"The impact we make to our for-profit clients is tremendous, resulting in enormous revenue and job growth and impact across the country. For us to be able to create the same ripple effect in the non-profit world is incredibly exciting. Joining Pledge 1% is not just a symbolic act; we aim to impact community involvement, awareness and fundraising across every non-profit we work with," said Michael Mothner, Founder and CEO of Wpromote.

Wpromote joins an international network of entrepreneurs and companies who have committed themselves to philanthropic efforts, including Yelp!, Salesforce and Yahoo. Learn how Pledge 1% works here, and check out Wpromote's current philanthropic efforts here.
