Giving Back To The Community

Here at Eleven Limited we believe passionately that people and organizations should give of their time and expertise in an effort to build strong communities.

Hooray for us! We've been recognized for our giving program!

Eleven Limited was highlighted in a recent book on charitable giving!

Here's the info from Amazon: Imagine! Charitable giving is a great business strategy that meets the needs of others and your business. "Small Businesses Give Big" captures the heart, values and passion of entrepreneurs and business owners through their own inspiring profiles and profound giving back stories. Each business presents the important role that philanthropy has in their success and how it serves both their own growth and those whose lives they touch. While they all have a unique way of giving back, they share a common root, the value they place on giving and their passion to stand for something that goes beyond the bottom-line. Get ready to be inspired! These community-minded businesses and socially conscious entrepreneurs share how business giving is more than just a good thing to do. It's a way of doing business that has benefits where the impact ripples far beyond what you can possibly see!
