Why the Pentecost Group Gives: Building Legacy Through Impact

Success isn’t just about building wealth – it’s about creating lasting change. Throughout Mark Pentecost’s journey from teacher to entrepreneur, he learned that true impact comes from strategic giving. Not just writing checks but investing in solutions that drive real results.

When Pentecost built his businesses, every decision was calculated for maximum return. He applies the same principle to philanthropy. It’s one of the reasons he donated $12 million to the V Foundation. 100% of those dollars go directly to cancer research. No waste. Pure impact.

As a cancer survivor and businessman, Pentecost understands both the personal and practical sides of giving. Every breakthrough in research creates ripple effects across countless lives. That’s not charity, that’s strategic investment in human potential.

People often ask Pentecost about building wealth. But here’s his answer “wealth without purpose is just numbers on a page.” Real success comes from turning your success into significance. Whether you’re giving $12 or $12 million, what matters is the intention behind it.

This is Pentecost’s challenge to fellow entrepreneurs: Don’t wait to give. Start now. Think strategically. Find causes where your dollars create measurable impact. Build giving into your business model from day one.

Remember: Legacy isn’t about what you keep – it’s about what you create.
