Our recommended investment amounts are based on a combination of three categories: 1) number of local employees, 2) company revenue, and 3) percentage of local customers. The rationale and point assignments for each category are as follows:
Number of Local Employees
4 Points = > 500 employees
3 Points = 100 – 500 employees
2 Points = 15 – 100 employees
1 Point = < 15 employees
Total Company Revenue
4 Points = > $100 Million
3 Points = $10 – $100 Million
2 Points = $1 – $10 Million
1 Point = < $1 Million
Percentage of Local Customers (within 5 miles of Morton)
2 Points = > 50% local customers
1 Point = < 50% local customers
Points for each of these three categories are multiplied together for a composite score. The composite score can then be used to determine the recommended investment amount based on the following table:
Composite Score – Recommended Investment
32 = $25,000 per year
24 = $20,000 per year
16 or 18 = $15,000 per year
9 or 12 = $10,000 per year
6 or 8 = $5,000 per year
4 = $2,000 per year
1 – 3 = $1,000 per year
