Greater DC Cares’ “My Business Cares”™ Seal of Approval acknowledges socially responsible businesses in the Washington region and the impact they have in making our communities great places to live and work!

Like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, the My Business Cares™ Seal offers your company a highly visible way to communicate its commitment, announcing to clients, prospects, employees and the general public that it has been recognized for its philanthropy in our region.  Companies that have earned the Seal proudly display it on their websites and in their promotional materials.
