Purposeful Gifting with ETHOS
At ETHOS Event Collective, we think that gifting is important. It should not be an afterthought. Gifting is a strong way to tell a story. These special gifts show what makes each of our places unique: the people, the skills, and the stories behind the items.
Each item featured honors Dad while supporting communities, nonprofits, and purpose-driven small businesses that align with our values. That’s what Purposeful Planning™ is all about.
If you don't see a gift in our Father’s Day guide that fits your special father figure, we suggest another idea. You can donate to a nonprofit in his honor.
This year, ETHOS is happy to continue our Passion Project Initiative. This program helps build strong relationships between our clients and nonprofits in our areas.
Our team has partnered with up to four nonprofits in each location. We chose them for their people-first approach, transparency, and missions. These values strongly match our own.
Below, please review the wonderful nonprofits. Perhaps one of these causes aligns perfectly with the man you're celebrating this Father’s Day.
