    Time, Talent & Resources

    The following is a broad range sampling of Norton’s Community Outreach. Our Family, our Business, our Staff Associates and our Partners give freely of their Time, Talent and Resources in order to make our communities a better plan than we found it.

    Concentrate giving to permanency & resiliency; land buildings, not administration or operations to support the cycle of building a bigger organization to raise more money.

    Support frugal efforts, organizations than run lean & mean & have a long legacy of real accomplishments.

    Drive funds to qualified & sustainable charitable operations.

    Give or volunteer to meet basic human needs; food, water, shelter, job creation and spiritual well-being in our community.
