We take great pride in our company - not only in the success of our systems and that of our clients, but also in our drive to help others and to help inspire a community of giving and caring. Our consultants and our company support various organizations, some of which are shown below. We try to use our time and talents to help make a difference where we can. We encourage you to share our passion and support these and other charities. Together we do make a difference.
Geneseo Is For Tomorrow is a Community Foundation established to enhance the quality of life in the Geneseo area by providing a means for permanent charitable giving. Do you ever wonder what the future holds for your community, your favorite non-profit organization or other specialized interests? Would you like to be that individual or business who provides sustainable monies to help meet their goals? The GIFT Foundation has the means to assist you in creating this lasting legacy.
Foresight is an active supporter of the GIFT Foundation. We designed, donated and host their website and also created the most recent newsletter. We set up a content management to empower the changing board to collaberate, share documents and keep the site current. We strongly believe in and encourange philanthropic giving and are proud to work with such a wonderful community organization.
Foresight is also committed to Internet Safety Awareness. Our children are our most valuable asset. We have helped communities educate parents on the dangers the Internet can pose to their children, specifically with Internet crimes, bullying and predators. Equally important though, we emphasize the responsibility of parents to educate their families, protect their privacy and enforce safe use of the Internet. We discuss how crucial it is to set up Internet safety guidelines with their children. This helps to make our youth aware of what is acceptable and what is not when they are using the Internet at home and when they are at a friend's house.
We talk about setting up home computers with filtering software and parental controls. Please read the Illinois Attorney General's Online Safety Tips to learn more. We wouldn't send our kids to play in a neighborhood that we don't know anything about, and we must take it upon ourselves to use the same precautions in cyberspace.
United Way - One of the very first 'Animals on Parade' charity events in the country, Naperville's Carousel Horse auction led the way and raised over $70,000 for the United Way. Foresight met with volunteers and United Way leaders to design, develop and host the database, the website and online gallery that supported the Carousel Horse auction. The site was used for the months leading up to the auction to advertise the horses, art and other items up for bid, and also used live at the auction. It also set the standard for future fundraiser auctions sponsored annually by the United Way.
Geneseo Marriage and Family Counseling Services was founded in 1974 to provide affordable, professional counseling to anyone in need. The agency's main focus is to provide quality counseling to individuals, couples and families for multiple issues that may be affecting their lives and to see what may be done to resolve them. The service is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. The agency receives financial support from the Geneseo Community Chest, grants from local institutions and churches, the Henry County 708 Board and client fees.
Advocates for Seniors is an organization that is very dear to us because they help to improve the quality of care for seniors who can no longer care for themselves. Too often our loved ones in their golden years receive less than adequate care. Foresight is proud to be involved with this organization. We host, maintain and support their website. They annually issue grants to organizations and individuals who have shown a commitment to educate the community and care givers, increase awareness, and improve the quality of care for the elderly.
One of the founders of Advocates for Seniors, Dave Kephart (pictured) was a very special man who endlessly gave of himself to help others. He made a positive and lasting impact on the lives he touched, including that of our founder. Foresight is proud to carry on the memory of Dave by supporting this organization. It is one small way of giving back to those who have given so much of themselves.
