Charitable Giving & Partnering
In many ways, a business is a platform for change. Companies have the opportunity and potential to do so much more than produce revenue. We feel our fiduciary responsibility is to give back and contribute to our community.
Our Founder & CEO, Frederick Shelton, started out as a homeless teen. Due to a stranger's kindness, Mr. Shelton was given a home and an opportunity to have a life he never dreamed of. Shelton & Steele donates a portion of every fee to homeless shelters food banks, and other worthy causes.
Shelton & Steele Partnering / Charitable Giving Program
Like most modern companies, Shelton & Steele has a partnering program in place. Our program benefits both our partners and their choice of charitable organizations. Our average fees is over $70,000 and a successful merger could result in a fee exceeding $1,000,000.00, so partnering with us for 20% of those fees can be quite lucrative! It can also make a tremendous impact on your favorite charity!
​
The Program:
If a member of our partnering program sends us a candidate, group or firm that we successfully place* with one of our clients, we will pay the following partnering program rewards:
Twenty percent (20%) of all fees collected for that placement will be paid to the partnering program member.
Ten percent (10%) of all fees collected, will be paid to their choice of charities with their name in the memo column.
Charities can be local homeless shelters, cancer or other medical research charities such as the Susan G. Komen Foundation, animal related charities such as The Human Society, charities that benefit veteran’s and their families, children’s charities and charities that fight human trafficking.
We are also open to other charities but will not consider paying benefits directly to churches, religious or political organizations. We also ask that the charity be one that the referring partner will receive direct compensation as a result of the donation.
If you would like to partner with us and help both yourself and your favorite charity, please send an email to admin@sheltonsteele.com and we’ll send you the usual paperwork. We look forward to working together!
*Successful placements are when an attorney, group or firm joins one of our clients, we are paid as agreed and if there is a guarantee period (rare for us), that guarantee period has passed without having to issue a refund (we have issued one partial , one time since 1996).
