What follows is an excerpt from Profit Magazine's coverage of Canada's top W100: “For other CEOs who've launched charitable projects, philanthropy is a natural extension of their day-to-day operations. That's true of Manishi Sagar (No. 29), president and CEO of The Kinderville Group. In 2003, with her Candiac, Que.-based daycare and private-school operator flourishing, she decided to fight poverty and ignorance by providing education to less fortunate children in her native India. She and her husband, Pradeep Sagar, established The Kinderville Foundation with an initial $50,000plus of their own money to fund small educational projects with low administration costs.
The firm's devotion to philanthropy is a key element in its branding as a socially conscious company in its newsletter and website for parents and potential staff. Its website's home page, for instance, prominently headlines its "Deep commitment to social issues," offering highlights of several projects, a link to the foundation and an invitation to volunteer.
Its projects, some through other foundations, have included setting up a childcare facility for the children of hospital workers and patients, a library for children orphaned by the 2004 tsunami and a computer lab in a remote village. The foundation also helps kids enjoy being kids. It gave cricket and badminton equipment to one school, which Sagar says "excited the staff and parents and gave them a sense of pride, that “Here is somebody sitting across the world who is interested. Let's do something for our kids, too'." Village elders rallied the community to improve the school grounds, and enrolment nearly doubled.
Kinderville is now solidifying its socially conscious position by setting aside an as yet undetermined share of its pretax profits for philanthropic work. Sagar says her inspiration was Ben & Jerry's cofounder Jerry Greenfield. The ice cream maker, now owned by Unilever PLC, devotes 7.5% of its pre-tax profits, more than US$1 million per year, to projects for social change. Sagar stresses how good it feels to do this kind of work and to fulfill her duty to give back: "I hate calling it charity. It's a social responsibility."”
