Innovation in Action
Meet Matt Holguin ’02, MBA ’05. While at APU, Matt was encouraged to pursue his passion for business and his calling to be a pastor. This combination fueled him to form Working to Give, a for-profit business created for the sole purpose of earning money to give it away and make a difference in the lives of others. With each business created through Working to Give, 50 percent of profits go back into the community in which the business operates. Today, Matt hopes this vision will also help inspire others to see their careers—in any field—as ministry.
