North Texas Giving Day is around the corner and we ask you as a member of the Esperanza community to partner with us on September 14th to raise $5,000 for aspiring entrepreneurs in the Dominican Republic. To simplify your giving process this season, we have outlined a Q&A of #NTXGivingDay common questions and answers. Our eagerness this year to galvanize many participants for Thursday’s online giving event is because we believe strongly in our associates who with access to capital have infinite potential for growth and development.
