REACHING OUT

MBG Consulting believes that corporations and businesses can be a force for positive change in the world and demonstrates this through commitment to philanthropic activities both locally and globally. Mirela Gabrovska, Principal, has shaped MBG Consulting's corporate culture to reflect her enthusiasm for and commitment to volunteer work. She is particularly dedicated to causes that support education, the greatest opportunity any child can be given and a chance that all children deserve.

In the Chicagoland area, Mirela serves as Executive Secretary for CoreNet (Corporate Real Estate Network) Chicago's Board of Directors and as Chair for CREW (Commercial Real Estate Executive Women) Chicago's Programs Committee. These professional organizations make substantial contributions to local non-profit organizations working to alleviate poverty, end domestic violence, and create career and educational opportunities for women and girls.

Mirela's dedication to philanthropy has a global focus as well. She devotes significant time and resources to Common Hope, an organization that fights poverty in Guatemala by partnering with families and communities there to develop education, healthcare, and housing projects. Mirela's work has included organizing a fundraising event that garnered donations totaling almost $80,000 for the educational and healthcare needs of Guatemalan children. She also took part in a Vision Team trip to Guatemala, during which participants built houses, taught in local schools, assisted in hospitals, and committed to financially sponsoring local children through college.

These experiences have strengthened Mirela's belief in the power of philanthropy to bring hope and opportunity to those in need, and to transform lives through education. MBG Consulting is proud to support these ideals and make a difference in the lives of those in need.
