Our Commitment to the Community
We believe that no success is worthwhile without the involvement and support of a larger community. We're proud to be part of Central Indiana and we actively look for ways to be involved in and give back to this region. It is our belief, and that of others quoted below, that giving back to the community in which we do business is the only way to operate a successful business. If you're interested in the Central Indiana business community read on to discover the values of involvement and a list of some of the organizations we support.
"Our research on corporate citizenship, reputation and philanthropy clearly shows that companies that have recognized and effective programs to benefit society enhance the loyalty of their key business relationships including more loyal customers and employees."
- Steve Walker, President and CEO Walker Information
"BitWise is one of those rare businesses that got involved in the community almost before it opened its doors. Its CEO, Ron Brumbarger, is a true believer in giving back the community that supports his business. And his commitment, and that of BitWise, goes far beyond just business interests.
Their support for important community initiatives, their willingness to step up and contribute to worthy causes, and their efforts to help ensure economic success for all business in central Indiana, not just BitWise, is a model for large and small firms everywhere. We're lucky to have Ron Brumbarger and BitWise in our community because they exemplify the giving, caring spirit which defines "corporate citizenship."
- John Myrland, President Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce
"For over a decade, BitWise Solutions, Inc. has been proud to be a member of the Central Indiana Business Community. We feel strongly in supporting this region through donations of our personal time and financial resources. It is our belief, and that of others quoted below, that giving back to the community in which we do business is the only way to operate a successful business.
"At the end of the day, business is about great relationships. It's about people who truly understand the values and assets each other brings to the table. A great business employs that understanding both to increase its profits and to increase the value of its community as a place to live and do business. BitWise Solutions understands this and has proven through its Foundation that even small businesses can create successful corporate philanthropy programs."
- Brian Payne, President, Central Indiana Community Foundation
"When surveyed on why they choose to live in central Indiana, most residents respond that it is the good quality-of-life and "a great place to raise a family." Our quality of life doesn't happen by chance. It is a result of thousands of residents who care enough to give a neighbor a helping hand, volunteer as a mentor, coach, or troop leader, or provide volunteer leadership to one of the hundreds of nonprofit organizations who serve the community. It is also the result of the many companies who do business in Indiana and want to give back to their community with expertise, volunteerism, and financial resources. Ron Brumbarger and BitWise Solutions epitomize the best of this community spirit. As a relatively young company, BitWise Solutions helps set a new standard for community responsibility and civic leadership. United Way of Central Indiana is pleased to benefit from Ron's volunteer leadership and expertise in ways that help us use technology to enhance service to donors, agencies, and the community at large."
- Ellen K. Annala, President & CEO
