Mission Statement
We at Innovative Incentives, Inc. pledge to support the causes of children’s health and literacy, environmental protection and conservation, assisting the homeless and hungry, and veteran services. We feel that this range of causes reflects our values and allows us to focus our support on critical needs that benefit both the intended recipients and the community at large. Through the betterment of children’s lives, advocacy for the environment, aid to those who need basic necessities such as food and shelter, and care of our disabled veterans, we make a difference.
Planned Giving
Currently, we support charities and organizations that match the goals of our Social Responsibility Mission Statement. Our donations to the National Youth Advocacy Coalition, SafeHomes Program of Worcester, Mercy Center, and Childreach help feed, educate, and protect children and better their lives. In 2008, we will be incorporating new planned giving to the Jimmy Fund and to Children’s Hospital Boston, which furthers our  desire to support research for children’s health issues and care for sick children in our community and across the region.
Support of prominent veterans charities and organizations such as Disabled American Veterans, Eastern Paralyzed Veterans (United Spinal Association), and the Massachusetts Veterans, Inc. allow us to keep our promise to our veterans that we will not forget nor take for granted their contributions to our country’s continued success.
Our partnership with Carbonfund enables us to offset our carbon emissions and combat global warming in a conscientious way, while furthering public education on environmental issues.
 Lastly, our new support and partnership with the Worcester County Food Bank feeds the hungry in ourlocal community. In 2008, we plan to add a food drive program into our Social Responsibility Mission.
