鈥淢aking a Difference While Making a Living” | Leadership Breakfast 02.17.2022
On Thursday, February 17, 2022, community members, 海角原创 faculty, staff, and students converged in the 海角原创 Dining Complex to hear , Vice President at MLG Capital, present on impact giving. Specifically, his presentation was titled, 鈥淢aking a Difference While Making a Living.鈥
is a real estate investment company in Brookfield, Wisconsin, that strives to have a MAD culture, according to Binder. MAD stands for 鈥淢aking a Difference.鈥澛
Binder asked the audience if they were MAD – were they making a difference in:聽
- Personal and professional growth?
- Serving a greater good?
- The life they鈥檝e been given?
- Working together with sympathy and empathy?
- Taking risks and supporting others 鈥渋n the weeds鈥?
The solution that Binder offered if the audience wasn鈥檛 making a difference was the MLG MAD Initiative. This initiative is anchored in 鈥渁n empowered and empathetic staff鈥 according to Binder.听
This is how it works: an investor makes the decision to invest in MLG via the MAD initiative. The fund investors can choose a charitable organization partner, then:
- The investor donates all of their returns in excess of 6%
- MLG Capital donates 100% of their profit to that charitable organization聽
For every 1 million of donor investment, $555,000 is given to the charitable organization.
MLG Capital looks for three core attributes in their charitable organizations: education-centric, faith-based, and active employee and investor engagement. A few of their charitable organizations include:
- Life Song
- Secure Futures
- Dr. Howard Fuller Collegiate Academy
- Milwaukee College Prep
- Augustine Prep Academy
- St. Marcus School聽
Binder ended his presentation by encouraging the attendees to 鈥渂e MAD鈥.听
