“The Dash” is a poem by Linda Ellis that inspires us to live our lives while we are alive. A critical line in the poem reads: "If we could just slow down enough to consider what is true and real and always try to consider the way other people feel.”   Wow, how powerful!! In this hurried age in which we live, we rarely slow down to consider anything, even when we are relaxing. We would rather numb our minds and think about nothing after a stress-filled day at work, or tend to

One of the most-asked questions we receive when C-Suite Executives, CSR, and HR professionals discover what we do, is, “What are the most important parts to a truly successful corporate volunteer initiative?” Considering we focus exclusively on employee volunteer events, I can offer my perspective.   1. Organization . It never ceases to amaze me how some entities can be called organizations–and then, not be. Organization. Planning. Preparation. Details. Leadership. All critic

Our inaugural VIBE Home Makeover is just around the corner. And we are now accepting nominations for our Tampa Bay, Florida project. VIBE provides designer home makeovers and renovations to recipient families in need, at no cost to the recipients. In our first year, five families will receive home makeovers in the bay area, including one family who will receive the Flagship Edition renovation, an extensive interior and exterior transformation with 18 or more major upgrades an

Being a part of more than 600 hands-on volunteer projects, I have personally witnessed the gamut of on-site volunteer experiences. Both good and bad. One that made me personally realize how we truly impact two very distinct parties (the recipient and the volunteer team) was one of our early home makeovers in Flagstaff, Arizona more than a decade ago.   A local financial services firm adopted the home of a low-income elderly lady who had recently lost her husband, and only sis

We have been asked to create a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) snapshot to help explain our VIBE Home Makeover project series. And while, we may not have all the answers, hopefully we have the same number of answers as we do questions. WHAT EXACTLY IS VIBE HOME MAKEOVER? It’s our Signature cause initiative, where families-in-need receive professionally-led, volunteer-supported home makeovers and renovations at no charge to the recipients.  Four Select Series recipients get m

The platform of the VIBE Home Makeover series of projects is certainly different, and far from conventional. Because of this, we’re often asked how we, as puzzle masters, are able to fund such seemingly costly projects. Trilogy Agency acts as the Puzzle Master bringing together national and local companies to provide 50 VIBE Home Makeovers throughout Florida in the next 5 years. The simple answer is through the generosity and collaboration of community-consci

While the platform of the high-profile VIBE Home Makeover series of projects is unique and rare, we thought you’d appreciate a scaled-down version of what we really contribute—what VIBE really is. So, here’s our elevator pitch… VIBE Home Makeovers provide designer home renovations to those-in-need. Five families will receive home makeovers in each market annually. Four recipients will receive the Select Edition makeovers with six or more major improvements and a selection of

Most every home improvement program on network TV these days shows major demolition and massive changes to existing floor plans, as part of their ‘one hour’ transformational home makeovers. In many of our blogs, we have written about our VIBE home makeovers and renovations, and about how our product replacements and upgrades will dramatically improve the homes of VIBE beneficiaries. We have been asked how is that possible without major demo? We should remember that the overwh

More households and families to qualify for a VIBE Home Makeover during our inaugural project in Tampa Bay! A very different eligibility model is used to offer a greater chance at a beautiful VIBE makeover or renovation, as compared to those offered by nonprofit organizations, government-subsidized programs, and social service agencies. A more relaxed, unique qualification and selection approach allows more bay area households to qualify for the VIBE 2026-27 project series. B
