Our Commitment

MLG Capital is committed to providing our employees the opportunity to make a difference in their community. The MLG Cares employee-led committee is dedicated to planning and organizing volunteer opportunities throughout the year. These events are offered to our team without the need to take personal time off. We encourage employees to participate in this mission by focusing on initiatives that:

Make a difference and/or improve the community.
Cultivate a strong workplace culture.
Increase and maintain employee engagement.

Two things define you: Your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything.

George Bernard Shaw

The overall goal of MLG Cares is to provide engagement opportunities for employees and value to the community, in combination with other philanthropic endeavors that we focus on as a company.

Four Pillars of MLG Cares

The goal of the MLG Cares committee is to identify and organize initiatives that cultivate a strong workplace culture and increase and maintain employee engagement through community service. MLG Cares is comprised of 4 pillars:

Employee Engagement

Developing employee-specific programs and events to encourage team building and collaboration.
Community Relations

Participating in organized volunteer initiatives with local organizations.
Corporate Sponsorships

Planning, giving and sharing monetary donations to selected organizations.
MAD Initiative

Providing MLG Investors the opportunity to make charitable contributions through our Private Funds.

The Making A Difference ‘MAD’ Initiative

The goal of the MAD Initiative is to bridge the gap between our business strategy and our philanthropic goals. Positioned as an impact investment opportunity, the MAD Initiative is anchored in, and named after, our firm’s overall objective: making a difference, while making a living.

Private Real Estate

We believe in finding “smart” real estate investments, with a focus
on believable and achievable assumptions and sophisticated
tax planning.
The MAD Initiative

A strategy that strives to create a cohesive relationship between our two principles.
Social Impact

We are committed to our philanthropic endeavors, both in the local community and abroad, striving to make a difference in the best way possible.

Investing with an Impact

The MAD Initiative allows investors to redirect distributions and future upside received from a Private Fund investment towards an aligned nonprofit interest. This not only creates value for our investors, but it also can produce substantial donations to selected charitable organizations.
