4ourCommunity President, Livis Freeman, started 4ourFans, Inc. six years ago to help professional athletes give back to their communities, show fan appreciation and build positive images. 4ourFans' services have assisted its clients in helping thousands of people in need and garnered them numerous community service awards. 

Livis' privileged position of helping professional athletes give back and manage their charitable requests has given him a unique perspective in the industry. He's had the opportunity to carefully examine thousands of requests from charities all over the country who've contacted his clients with a variety of needs. He's also had the opportunity to serve on numerous non-profit boards of directors (and hold virtually every leadership position). He's gained in-depth experience on how non-profits operate, their essential needs, problems they face and how it feels to make a charitable request.

He decided to create 4ourCommunity, a new division of 4ourFans, to make giving back easier for Triangle businesses by helping them create their charitable identities and manage their charitable requests.

Through 4ourFans, Livis was able to help numerous high profile professional athletes establish their charitable identities while helping thousands of needy people. By applying the same strategy of analyzing each client's past charitable activities and helping them discover a charitable cause they're passionate about, we're able to create themed community initiatives to streamline their activities. This helps them maintain a consistency with their giving which makes it easier for their customers and the media to identify with it. It also helps with management of their charitable requests by providing criteria that seekers must meet before making a submission.  

Charitable requests can sometimes be overwhelming for businesses with or without community relations' managers. Businesses are sometimes concerned with how not responding to or accommodating a request can lead to bad publicity. We've developed a very effective system to manage extremely large amounts of charitable requests for professional athletes that we can apply to businesses. We research each requesting organization (and the request details) and decide whether or not to assist them based on criteria agreed upon by each client. Not only do we assure that each request receives a response, we also suggest other avenues of assistance if our client isn't able to help.

While 4ourCommunity's services will be extremely beneficial to Triangle Non-Profits, they are designed to help Triangle Businesses in their quest to create their charitable identities and manage their charitable requests.
