Our Story

“How” and “Wow” – that is the question and the reaction we get when we talk to people about
e-Partners in Giving.

The “How” is pretty standard: “How did you come up with that idea?”

It’s the “Wow” that takes off in a hundred different directions:

Some people say….“Wow. That is a great idea.”
Other people have a different response altogether…“Wow. You REALLY quit your job to start your own business?”
That’s usually followed up with….“Wow. I could never do anything like that.”
Some other responses….“Wow. Didn’t you (Drew Myers, President/CEO) used to be a football coach”
Or…. “Wow. How many business classes did you (Drew Myers, President/CEO) actually take in college? I thought you were a journalism major.”
We get A LOT of…”Wow. Why didn’t I think of that.” (That’s personally our favorite.)

This is definitely a crazy adventure for every member of the e-Partners in Giving Family, but once you step back and look at the whole picture, it doesn’t seem that “crazy” at all.

The concept of e-Partners in Giving is simple:

Give people a safe and easy way to give back through charitable donations. Recently, we have taken that mission statement and made it genuinely radical: We want to help change the world – one donation at a time.

We truly feel like we have developed a business model that has the potential to have a profound social impact.

The “Wow” aspect – specifically the tremendous risk taken by some members of the e-Partners Family – is fairly easy to wrap your mind around as well. When you discover a niche/opportunity in the market place – and believe in it as strongly as we do – taking the radical leap of faith is easy. (Whether that leap is quitting your job, investing your life savings, or simply saying, “I want to be a part of that.”)

It’s our passion about e-Partners in Giving that drives us and makes us unique.

Another part of the “Wow” aspect has been the conscious decision to take control of our lives – making a radical career change in order to do something that fuels the fire of our inner soul

We didn’t want to be like so many people who hate their job, but refuse to do anything about it. (That statement might not apply to you, but we’re sure you know a handful of people who live this way.)

This excerpt from the book “Into The Wild” by Jon Krakuer captures exactly what we’re referring to:

“So many people live within unhappy circumstance and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality, nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit with a man than a secure future.”

Our “adventurous spirit” is currently riding an amazing roller coaster – one that has the potential of touching many different lives in many different ways.

We believe that the impact of our wake has the potential to be much more significant than the actual splash we make in our lives.

That is why it is our privilege to help with this self-sacrificing opportunity.
