Giving Back

Corporate social responsibility is part of the fabric of growth[period]'s business and culture. The diversity of our employees, partners, and clients has provided us with key insights into the challenges and opportunities facing communities at every level, knowledge that has led us to conclude that partnering with non-profit groups and community organizations not only is good for the less fortunate and those that help them but also is good for business. As global interconnectivity continues to grow at a rapid pace, no one can afford to sit on the sidelines, and we try hard to practice what we preach. Our leadership is actively engaged in a number of charitable and community pursuits, ranging from working with wounded and disabled veterans to feeding the homeless, and sponsors frequent company-wide volunteer projects. growth[period] employees individually give generously of their talent, energy and passion to any cause that they deem worthwhile, and we embrace their passion and enthusiasm to make the world a better place, offering paid time off for charity work. Below are just a few of the many ways they make a positive impact.

growth[period] Supports Memorial Fund for "Annie" Nhu Nguyen

January 2019: growth[period] is proud to support the Memorial Fund for "Annie" Nhu Nguyen. Nhu "Annie" Ngoc Quynh Nguyen was a dutiful mother who always put her children first before herself.

She's an extremely hard working single mother of 3 girls, working 7 days a week all over the US from California, Florida, Michigan, Arizona, and now Las Vegas. She had been constantly putting in 12-14 hrs a day, 7 days a week to send her daughters to college and to support her mother, siblings, and grandchildren. Allowing them to have a greater opportunity in life, she worked endlessly to the point where she would skip eating until after hours so they would not have to work as hard as she did. She tragically lost her life in December 2018. This memorial fund was set up to support her family.
