EMI believes in doing what we can to help grow the industry we serve. We feel one way to do this is through offering opportunities to young adults. EMI’s leaders feel fortunate to have the resources we have, therefore we started a scholarship to be given out to an outstanding global student. Part of the requirement for a scholarship is to demonstrate leadership, scholastics aptitude and the need for financial support. Some of the brightest stars in our industry have come from less fortunate financial backgrounds. For more information about ESOMAR please visit www.esomar.org

One of the ways in which we give back to the community is through our monetary donation to Angel Tree. This is a ministry that reaches out to the children of inmates and their families with the love of Christ. In Matthew 18:5 Jesus said, “Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.” There are children right in your community who are among the most at-risk children in the nation. Angel Tree provides an opportunity to connect with those families and begin ministering to them at Christmas and then continue through a variety of year-round ministry opportunities. To learn more about this ministry visit www.angeltree.org.

Another way we, at EMI Surveys, give back is through our involvement with OneCity and CityLink. OneCity’s mission is to fight poverty, ignorance, crime and addiction. Through its many organizations OneCity strives to make our community better. CityLink is one of those life lines. It is a campus where people can connect with each other and with the services they need to find holistic life change and break the cycles of poverty. Its mission is to be a community of people who value each individual’s unique gifts, share experiences and love, in order to break the cycle of poverty. We stand behind our commitment to OneCity and the life lines it offers. EMI recently donated a large sum of money to OneCity and will continue to support this organization in the future.
