Announcing the Good2Give Podcast, with DePriest Waddy and Maria Walden-Sullivan, Community Foundation of Northeast Georgia (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 677)

On this episode of North Fulton Business Radio, DePriest Waddy and Maria Walden-Sullivan of the Community Foundation of Northeast Georgia were returning guests with host John Ray to discuss the work of the Foundation. They discussed what a Community Foundation does and how it serves donors, nonprofits, and the community at large.

Community Foundation of Northeast Georgia

At the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia, everything they do centers around one purpose – improving our world through the power of philanthropy.

On a fundamental level, they do that through managing funds held in trust, donated by individuals, organizations, and businesses. Most funds are donor-advised funds, similar to savings accounts. These funds are pooled for investment purposes and their income is used to make grants for a wide variety of charitable purposes.

But the Foundation’s goals expand far beyond managing funds. They desire to strengthen the communities they serve in Gwinnett, Northeast Georgia, and beyond by providing leadership, addressing community needs, and assisting individuals and organizations with their charitable giving.

Employee Retention Tax Credits, with Mark Campbell, Linqqs ERC Specialists (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 670)

Mark Campbell, Registered Agent with Linqqs ERC Specialists, explained what the Employee Retention Tax Credit is, who is eligible and what’s required, how he helps his clients determine eligibility, what it costs, and much more.

North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Linqqs ERC Specialists

COVID-19 has been a challenge for all of us. As the world shut down the economy came to a halt, leaving the future of many businesses in a precarious position. As we begin to find normalcy again, businesses now have to focus on recovering and fortunately, several government programs are easing this process.

One such program is the Employee Retention Credit or ERC, which is a generous stimulus program designed to bolster those businesses that were able to retain their employees during this challenging time. Due to the extremely complex tax code and qualifications, it is severely underutilized.

No need to be the guinea pig for your CPA. Linqqs averages 10-20% more funding than a CPA not familiar with the program. They evaluate your claim in every way possible to ensure they maximize your credit.

Their streamlined processes allow for faster results, which means faster funding. Their team strictly focuses on ERC allowing them to be the experts and resulting in more funding for your business. Although the process is quick and painless, when you have questions they have answers with a dedicated team of ERC support specialists.
