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

Utah Pet Partners

We’re proud to partner with Utah Pet Partners, a nonprofit dedicated to improving lives through the healing power of therapy animals. These four-legged volunteers bring comfort, joy, and connection to hospitals, schools, and communities across Utah.

Some furry friends will be joining NAGGL’s Spring Conference. Check the agenda to find out when they will be there and learn how you can support their incredible work.

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.
