At Grupo Events, we have one goal – to build great teams. We also know that great teams give back. That’s why we build giving back into many of our corporate team building retreat activities. Give back themed corporate retreats are more than a savvy way to spend a few days on the sunny beaches of Mexico. Our philanthropic retreats and activities are designed to help your team reach as they climb. In other words, the goal is to build your team while your team builds a community – one project at a time.
Your team can take giving back a step further when they participate in our Scholarship Program. After experiencing one of our give back themed team building activities, many of our corporate groups ask how they can continue to give back to the communities they connected with. One of our recommendations is to sponsor a scholarship student from a local school. Through various sponsoring organizations and the Keeping Kids in School (KKIS) initiative, we’ve created scholarship programs that provide educational opportunities for students from primary school all the way to university.
Mexico’s average University scholarships cost only $1,750 USD per year. As students successfully complete their high school education, we encourage them to attend university. This year, we’re focused on supporting our university scholarship program to provide opportunities for our high school graduates.
Your corporation can make contributions to our Scholarship Program in two ways:
1. Annual donations are awarded to disadvantaged students who dream of furthering their education.
2. Three-year commitments where money is put into a reserve fund and distributed as needed for scholarship recipients
Individuals donations are tax deductible with receipts from the KKIS program. Through our Betting on the Future campaign, groups and organizations receive tax deductible receipts and recognition for their role in maintaining corporate giving. Participating in or creating a corporate scholarship program is one of the most appreciated methods of corporate social responsibility. A scholarship piques the interest of your target market, shows your interest in creating brighter futures, and publicly aligns your corporation with its values and brand message.
Establishing and administering a corporate scholarship in the aftermath of a successful corporate retreat is a testament to the long lasting effects of team building retreats. And if your corporate team can help establish significant scholarships in Mexico, their newly honed corporate team building skills can help them establish meaningful scholarships in your city.
