A role model for good corporate citizenship, Go Daddy yesterday matched all contributions and then doubled their own contribution to benefit the Arizona Humane Society during their annual telethon. CEO Bob Parsons delivered a $100,000 cheque by way of his two dogs, Max and Chief pulling a chariot. This is the 4th year in a row that Go Daddy has contributed big time to this event. The total take for the event was $328,000 which goes a long way to shelter, provide medical care and find homes for stray and abandoned animals. It also helps fund a low cost spay/neuter program as well as educational programs that teach people how to properly care for their pets.
Go Daddy’s philanthropic works support a wide variety of charitable and community organizations dedicated to such causes as domestic violence, child abuse, disabled children, teenage homelessness, Parkinson’s research, breast cancer and more. Go Daddy donated $1.7MM to charitable causes last year and is on pace to break its own record for 2009.
So Kudos to Go Daddy for balking the trend of most corporations who are backing off their charitable giving citing poor economic times.
Personally, I am more inclined to spend my money with a company who has a heart and shows it then one who doesn’t.
