Burbank businesses support their community charities when they sign up to promote their business with us, through our Direct Donation program. A contribution of $3.00 from every paid business listing is sent to a local non-profit that the business selects from our list of local non-profits listed below.
(If you do the math, if 30% of Burbank businesses sign up for an
Elite or Professional profile, that equals about 2000 businesses.
2000 x $3.00/month =$6,000, sent monthly to these groups and over $72,000
would be contributed annually. This can make a real dent in local funding needs.)
