A LETTER TO YOU Dear Reader, We understand that IMS primarily provides barter-based services and resources to business. What we do allows you to tap into our growing network of business members and improve your cash flow. Through our robust trading network, we help companies realize profitability by delivering both commercial and corporate barter solutions. But helping businesses grow is only one aspect of our company. Another is that we strive to give back to the community our businesses serve. IMS supports over 100 different charities across 17 states. And right now, more than ever, our charities need you. With the global pandemic and the down turn of the economy, many have had to drop their support in charities to keep their own businesses and lives afloat. There are many opportunities for you to help these charities still - through the power of your trade dollars, just to start. If you would like to help give a little back as well, continue reading this directory to find a charity you would like to support OR click the link to donate: https://www.imsbarter.com/memberonly/charitable-contributions We thank you for your continued support.

For Kid’s Sake Foundation to Crush Cancer Malia Jusczyk is a Plainville, MA second grader who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of childhood cancer.

Malia has endured 6 rounds of chemo, 9 hours of tumor resection surgery, a stem cell transplant, removal of a kidney and an adrenal gland, 12 rounds of proton radiation, countless blood transfusions, immunotherapy and much more. The good news is Malia shows No Evidence of Disease (NED), and is over 4 years cancer free! However the harsh reality is that more than 60% of children do not survive, the rate of relapse for those that do is 50% until they are 5 years cancer free and there is no known cure for relapse. Better treatment is needed for the #1 disease killer of US children (cancer!) and studies are waiting for funding. Check out our website for upcoming events that you can sponsor.

FOUR WAYS TO HELP A CHARITY WITHOUT SPENDING CASH As a company that strives to save your business cash, we are also a company that wants to give back to the community. There are ways you can give back, both as a business and in your personal life, when your financial resources are limited.

1. Donate

Plenty of us forget that one of the simplest ways of giving to charity without breaking the bank is by donating. This is as easy as setting aside a box in your home or at your business and label it: DONATIONS. Throughout the year, put donatable items in the box. When the box is full, take it to the charity of your choice. But the items don’t need to be limited to old clothes or books or toys! Many charities will gladly take your old computers, printers, and furniture (yes even office furniture).

2. Volunteer

Now if you don’t have much to donate in the way of items, think about donating your time by volunteering. Almost all charities and non-profit organizations need volunteers to help them keep running because they can’t afford dedicated staff. Consider volunteering specific skills that you have, such as marketing, IT, accounting, writing, cooking, or photography — even contemplate offering your services pro bono.

3. Raise Awareness

If you can’t afford to give money regularly, perhaps someone else can. If you feel passionately about a particular charity, making people aware is a great way to get more money flowing their way. This could be done in many ways, from social media to blogging about issues that you want to share. Alternatively, you could sponsor the charity and include their logo on your promotional material and have their brochures at your front desk.

4. Barter

IMS supports 100 different charities across 18 states including Shriners Hospitals for Children, Missing & Exploited Children, Special Olympics, Easter Seals, CURE Childhood Cancer Association, United Way, March of Dimes, and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Those are just a few. For far this year, IMS members have made 655 donations to the charities that we work with. Those 655 donations went to 58 different charities and equaled $400,000. There are many opportunities year-round to help these amazing organizations save their vital cash by giving them the gift of IMS trade dollars.

Non Profit Organization. Pearls With Purpose is a social impact organization (which means we blend the initiatives of a non-profit with the systems and productivity of a for-profit) in order to bring long term self-reliance to women in developing countries. Beginning in 2002 with a handful of women in the squatters area of Antipolo City, Philippines, PWP has since expanded into Ban Nam Kem, ThailandBarathapurham, India- and Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Hundreds of women have been given a hand-up rather than a hand-out as they have become aware of their own self reliance through micro-enterprise training.
