We’ve been blown away by the examples of generosity and kindness that are at the heart of so many brands in the community. We asked some of the most giving entrepreneurs and leaders we know to tell us about how they think about the practice of donating a percentage of sales.

I do! Giving back to the community is something very close to my heart and a part of who I am, so I thought, why should that not have a part in my own company?! I donate 10% of my revenue from each client booked to an organization close to their hearts! If the clients have a hard time choosing, I have an organization that I have seen make an impact firsthand, that we will donate too! Many of my clients are starting a new chapter in their lives as either married couples (Weddings), bringing in a new family member into the world (Baby Showers), etc and with the amount of money being involved in these events I want to take part of that and be a part of these clients first step in this new chapter, making a difference!

We donate to a range of different organizations across the world, the main ones being Kurandza, Reef Check and Trees For The Future, but we do ad hoc donations to other causes too. Over the years we’ve donated to everything from a koala hospital in Australia to a children’s bereavement organization in Florida. We record everything on this page: https://www.lyricalhost.com/causes-we-support-%e2%9d%a4/ so our customers can see what their money goes toward. Some of the causes we chose from our own personal research, others were chosen by our customers after we asked for suggestions. We wanted them to be a part of the decision making too. Generally we try to choose causes that are small, independent organizations set up by people who are truly passionate about making a difference and usually have a close personal link to their mission.

One of our favorite tours was the “Secret Gardens of Pasadena,” which gave participants a chance to explore both a publicly accessible garden and a privately owned garden—two beautiful spaces that aren’t on the usual radar. What made this tour especially meaningful to us was the opportunity to support the gardens themselves. We decided that the majority of the ticket sales would go directly to the gardens, helping to fund their upkeep and ensure their continued presence in the community. It wasn’t just about creating a great tour experience—it was about making a small, positive impact. These gardens are such peaceful, inspiring places, and we wanted to give back to them in a way that would help them continue thriving for future visitors. Read more>>
