Go Daddy Gives Millions to Charities & Employees

2007 is Record Year for Donations & Incentives

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--What’s good for Go Daddy is good for the community. This year’s financial success for the world’s largest provider of Web site addresses is translating into big dollars for charities and for the company’s own employees.

For the year, Go Daddy’s philanthropic works totaled $1.4 million in donations alone. The Scottsdale-based company helped organizations dedicated to a variety of causes, including domestic violence, child abuse, blind children, unwed mothers, homelessness, as well as Parkinson’s disease, Juvenile Diabetes, food banks and animal shelters.

“It’s important to us to make a difference in our community and all over the world,” said Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons.

Mr. Parsons is known for his “surprise” contributions, as with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF). At the JDRF Desert Southwest Chapter’s kick-off luncheon in September, Parsons was expected to announce the company’s $100,000 donation, but after listening to stories of families affected by the disease, he surprised everyone by standing up and pledging twice the amount.
