Trickle Up Receives Joint Donation
Long-standing technology partner, TRADOS Inc., recently joined with McElroy Translation to provide a donation to the Trickle Up Program, a non-profit committed to helping the lowest income people worldwide through global entrepreneurship. The philanthropic partnership further solidifies the successful relationship between TRADOS and McElroy.
The joint donation will provide $1,000 in seed capital to start 10 new “micro-enterprises” in the poorest countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Founded in 1979, the Trickle Up Program also provides business training and related support services to help the most needy to take the first steps out of poverty through economic and community empowerment. While the donation amount may seem modest by U.S. standards, the $1,000 can be a catalyst for positive change and hope for 10 small businesses throughout the world.
“As a translation service provider, we’ve always been about bridging language and cultural differences,” explained Shelly Orr Priebe, General Manager of McElroy Translation. “We’re happy to share our success by helping those in most need around the world to bridge economic and social gaps and to become self-sufficient, contributing members of the global economy.”
“We’re thrilled that McElroy approached us with this opportunity to team up with them for such a great cause,” added Mike Kidd, Vice President of sales for TRADOS. “Of course, we’re proud to be able to contribute to the mission of Trickle Up, but to be able to partner in a common interest with such a loyal and long-standing customer like McElroy makes it even more special.”
