Paradigm’s Pay-It-Forward initiative is designed to assist Paradigm employees expand their scope of giving service and caring into our communities. Pay-It-Forward simply refers to doing three or more "Big" things to help three individuals, families, or groups (unrelated to us) meet important needs that would otherwise go unmet. For those who choose to participate, Paradigm provides encouragement and resources ($375 in cash) to employees who in turn give (in service and financially) to help recipients of Pay-It-Forward. Paradigm employees then educate the recipients of goodwill on the idea of expanding the action of giving by encouraging the recipient to help three new unrelated people. Employees are encouraged to use and provide the Pay-It-Forward Summary Document below to aid in explaining the purpose of Pay-It-Forward.
