For more than 15 years, Northwest and our employees have contributed time and energy raising money annually in our local communities to support a number of nationally recognized charitable organizations. Some of these organizations are listed below. In addition, Northwest also provides its call center services gratis to support a select number of charities in their primary fund raising events each year, taking donation pledges over the phone and internet, participating in fundraising events like Walk For The Cure and funding the start up of new charitable programs designed to ease the suffering of displaced and abused children in our communities.
Northwest and its owner, Rote Enterprises, look for opportunities to fund new and needed charitable activity. Following is an excerpt from a book recently published by Tim and Serena Howell. About ten years ago , the Howell’s started Hope Unlimited, a public non-profit organization, which provides camp retreats for abused teenagers who reside in foster care. “One Indian summer day the Howell’s shared their dream with Tim Rote, a good friend who has a compassionate heart for hurting teens. “What’s the budget?”, Rote asked after listening intently. Serena shared their estimated budget and Rote pulled out his check book and wrote a check for $10,000…on the condition that the money be used to set up the first camp to serve abused teens the following summer.” Indeed, the first camp was set up that next summer and Hope Unlimited continues to grow. -The goal for next year: to operate 38 camps providing support and hope to more than 1,000 abused teens. You just never know how even a small contribution can affect the life of a child in need and of course none of this would be possible without the business support of our clients. Northwest is wholly owned by Rote Enterprises, LLC., a private and family owned investment group with interests in call center companies nationwide. Rote Enterprises provides services in the Direct Marketing, Agency and Collections space. Rote Enterprises’ competitive advantage is to provide the most talented and entrepreneurial managers in its invested space with a financially rewarding opportunity in one or more of its portfolio companies. Northwest also participates in many of the most recognized and respected organizations in our industries:
