Creating lasting impact for others is the legacy I would like my business to have, which is why giving back is so important to me. In other words, when it's all said and done, I would like to have left the world a little bit better. It's the way a modern business should operate - with a clear and compassionate mission to help move humanity forward. At least, that's my take on it.

Whether it's by volunteering or donating whenever possible, I hope to create a ripple effect that inspires other business owners, so that we create lasting change for the better - together.

Below you will find the contact information for foundations that I regularly support along with information about what they stand for, and how to donate. If you feel moved to donate, please do so.

These foundations do fantastic work and have been very meaningful to a lot of people around the world. With our help, they can continue their missions. 

Change starts with you ...

"Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty are national treasures. Rich with history and full of meaning, they honor the struggle that made our lives possible, and symbolize the ideals that unite us as a people."

As an emigrant/immigrant myself with relatives who passed through Ellis Island in the 1800s, supporting this foundation is close to my heart. There are several ways to donate, and all are good. If you are a US immigrant yourself or have immigrant ancestors, consider adding some names to the Wall of Honor at Ellis Island to celebrate the legacy.

"DDJF hopes to give back to those who have suffered great loss and make a positive impact through community & music therapy."

As a longtime supporter of The Power of Love Show by DDJF (which I had the pleasure of appearing on in January 2021), I encourage you to support this foundation which helps heal the hearts of those who have recently suffered a loss. Coping with grief is never easy, but their community is incredibly warm, supportive, and welcoming to all, regardless of who you are or where you are from.

The Heal Los Angeles Foundation creates change in the Los Angeles area through community engagement, meal services, school projects, and, of course, positive vibes.

Los Angeles is one of my favorite cities in the world, so I'm proud to support this foundation that helps children. Through annual fundraisers and special projects, they have supplied thousands of meals and school supplies to inner city youth. They also provide meaningful programs to help kids stay active and engaged in their communities.
