“Donate enough money where it makes you uncomfortable”

For Matt Nawrocki, philanthropy is a vital block that Vectors Inc. is built on. When the opportunity to give back to the community arises, Matt is the first in line. Whether it is donating to the Semper Fi Fund, the Focus Marines Foundation, or various universities, this attitude of gratitude ensures that Vectors Inc. spreads its success and appreciation with others.
