Caring for the Communities That Power Us
Giving Back with a Purpose
Supporting the communities we serve and the small businesses that power them
At NAGGL, helping those in need has always been part of who we are. NAGGLCares is our way of giving back to the communities we serve and support small businesses when they need it most.
What began in 2022 as community-focused giving at our events has grown into something even bigger. Since then, NAGGLCares has donated more than $200,000 to local and national charities as well as disaster relief efforts, helping small businesses rebuild after natural disasters in the U.S.
How We Give
Event Giving and Volunteerism
NAGGLCares partners with local organizations in our host cities to spotlight and support causes that matter. From youth programs and animal shelters to veteran services and food banks, we’ve raised awareness and donations for groups including:
- Operation Gratitude
- Boys and Girls Club
- Wounded Warrior Project
- And many more
These partnerships help amplify local efforts – and remind us that every event is an opportunity to serve.
Disaster Relief Efforts
NAGGLCares contributes funds to relief organizations helping rebuild and restore affected areas, with an emphasis on supporting the small business community’s recovery. From hurricanes and wildfires to floods and tornados, we provide aid where it’s needed most.
In the past few years, we have donated to disaster areas including:
- Maui Fire Recovery
- Florida Hurricane Disaster Recovery
This year, NAGGL has pledge $50,000 towards disaster relief efforts.
Spotlight Charities
One Heart of Orlando
We’re proud to partner with One Heart of Orlando, who provides crucial resource for families in need, providing essential food and supplies each month to children, women, men, seniors, and everyone facing food insecurity in the Orlando area.
This amazing organization brought over supplies and food for our Spring Conference attendees to put together care packages for needy people in the Orlando area. Together, we were able to provide almost 2,000 snack and hygiene bags to the community.
NAGGL's Disaster Relief Fund
When disaster strikes, small businesses are often hit hardest. That’s why NAGGLCares launched a Disaster Relief Fund – to provide swift, meaningful support to communities recovering from natural disasters.
Help us make a difference. Donations go directly to on-the-ground efforts that help businesses rebuild, reopen, and recover.
