the giving tree

At Blue Tent Marketing, we believe that it’s important to find meaningful ways to give back to the community and the environment. To this end, we’ve created The Blue Tent Giving Tree – named in honor of the late Shel Silverstein’s famous book, “The Giving Tree.”

The Blue Tent Giving Tree is a corporate foundation, built upon the beliefs and ethical standards set forth by members of Blue Tent Marketing. The founding committee has laid the foundation and created the framework by which the committee will continue to grow and evolve as influenced by new members and perspectives into the foreseeable future.

Overview:

  • Blue Tent Marketing will donate 3% of net profit on a quarterly basis to a non-profit organization that meets the mission, guiding principles and criteria as outlined below by the Giving Tree Committee.

Mission:
