Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization with a network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs, has seen an average increase of 70% in the need for food assistance across the country, much of it coming from people who have never sought help before.

Their mission revolves around the core belief that no one in the United States should go to bed hungry, and their commitment to this cause has made a significant impact on communities across the country.

One of our amazing brands, Nunbelievable, has made a remarkable commitment to support Feeding America's vital mission. Nunbelievable is a socially conscious and mission-driven cookie company that believes in the power of cookies to bring joy and make a positive impact. Through their partnership with Feeding America, Nunbelievable is actively contributing to the fight against hunger by donating a portion of their proceeds to help provide meals to those in need.

We all probably take for granted the ability to go to a nearby grocery store or restaurant and grab, well, basically anything. For us healthy food is just a short walk or drive away. The reality in the developing world couldn't be more different. Whether it's in huge cities or rural areas, getting fresh healthy food into the homes of some of the world's most vulnerable people is one of the biggest challenges of our age.

You're probably thinking "what's so hard about getting food to people?". That's what we thought until we spent a year digging into it. A lot of the challenge is that fresh food often needs to be harvested, transported, stored, and sold in very particular ways. A lot of what you'd find at a western grocery store, for example, arrived via cold chain logistics - specially chilled trucks and warehouses keeps our food as fresh as possible before it reaches stores (and even once on shelves). None of that really exists in developing contexts - once food is harvested it needs to be transported and sold almost immediately, lest it spoil on trucks or shelves.

This cause is a partnership with Kiva to invest in a portfolio of women working along the supply chain that brings healthy food to vulnerable communities, from supporting farmers growing healthy produce to investing into women operating the kind of small food stalls that can reliably get that produce into the homes of people who need it.

We spent most of the last ten years working in the field of early childhood education. You know what the majority of the research in that space boils down to? Quite simply that the more positive interactions children have with adults as they grow up, the better their outcomes. Everything we care about - their education achievement, their health and happiness, the future prospects - all scale linearily with how many positive interactions they get to have with the people around them.

That's the power of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America - taking at-risk youth and getting them into an environment where every interaction is one that helps them grow and unlock their future potential.

Our planet is a gorgeous place but there's a problem. Many of its most beautiful spots - in this case our beaches and oceans - are commonly owned. We don't want this to devolve into a lecture about the tragedy of the commons but the issue with commonly owned assets is there's no one person (or group of people) to really stand up and protect them. Pristine white beaches quickly find themselves littered with trash - the oceans that support most of our planet's life find themselves hosting country-sized patches of plastic waste.

The Surfrider Foundation are a grassroots activist organization dedicated to fighting this, working around the world to ensure equitable access to clean beaches and clean oceans. The issues the Surfider Foundation tackles vary widely, from beach and ocean cleanups, to action on protecting vulnerable coral reefs, to advocacy on climate change.

This is another one of those causes that kind of speaks for itself. We love animals. Call us controversial, but we think all animals have the right to lead lives fress of undue suffering.  We've come a long way as a society on this front but there's still a lot of work to do.

Although the ASPCA's mission is the prevention of animal cruelty it actually works across many different areas to support animals in America, from working to end puppy farms, running quality animal shelters, and even offering rehabilitation services for animals (household, farm, and other) who have been mistreated.

The Jed Foundation is a nonprofit that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for our nation’s teens and young adults, giving them the skills and support they need to thrive today…and tomorrow.

Sometimes our headlines are more subtle - this isn't one of those times. 

There's a mental health crisis in the making in youth across America. Rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts have been skyrocketing year after year for nearly a decade now. Although the cause remains unclear (*cough* toxic social media combined with a lack of economic opportunity *cough*) the effects are all too real.

Now take that crisis and multiply it: LGBT+ youth experience these mental health issues at nearly 3X the rate that heterosexual youth do. We're looking at nearly 50% of LGBT+ youth having self-harmed within the past year. Another 40% have had serious suicidal thoughts. 

The Trevor Project is the world's single largest suicide prevention and mental health organization for these LGBT+ youth. Their services run the gamut from a 24/7 crisis hotline, to trained counselors available on demand, to running the world's first safe social networking spaces for LGBT+ youth (TrevorSpace). Put simply? The Trevor Project takes dollars and turns them into LGBT+ lives saved.

To say there's a housing crisis in the USA is putting it lightly. Rents are up and house prices are at historical highs all while the pandemic has crushed employers all across the country. Like with almost any issue, low income communities have felt this the hardest. For the first time ever a new generation of people are facing a reality where a roof over their heads isn't a certainty.

It's no secret that safe, affordable housing is the foundation that helps individuals, families, and communities grow and thrive. Increasing that is a cornerstone of BlueHub Loan Fund's mission. Since 1985 they've invested an incredible $330 million across the housing spectrum, from affordable and supportive housing to shelters. For those of us grappling with the magnitude of $330M here's what that means in real terms: over 26,500 units built, preserved, or enhanced across the USA. A place to call home for tens of thousands of Americans.

In addition to affordable housing BlueHub Loan Fund also funds projects supporting access to healthy food in low income communities. About 10% of US families face hunger and food insecurity — defined as a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. Due to the persistent effects of redlining and segregation, food insecurity is more prevalent in Black and Hispanic communities, particularly for families with children.

BlueHub Loan Fund finances projects that provide residents easy access to affordable, healthy food and health-promoting services. We're proud to have them as a +Purpose partner for you to invest in now and be part of this incredible legacy.

Displaced by decades of conflict, there are currently over two million Palestinian refugees living in refugee camps in and around Palestine. The camps that house these people are often woefully inadequate, lacking access to basic services (education, healthcare) and vital infrastructure (energy, heat, clean water, fresh food). Although theoretically temporarily, many living in refugee camps have no line of sight on when they might be able to go home or be allowed to go settle somewhere more permanently. Refugee camp life, to put it simply, is like living in an awful kind of limbo - no stability today, no idea of when it will end.

We've come together with FATEN (Palestine for Credit & Development), a local community development non-profit, and Kiva to invest directly to support Palestinians living in refugee camps in Gaza and the West Bank. FATEN has a long history of supporting local refugees, actually having been created as an iniative by Save the Children but spun off to operate independently once it took off.

This cause is a portfolio of direct investments into Palestinians living in refugee camps. We've selected a handful of different targets, including helping locals buy things like solar panels, water filtratation devices, and paying for education for their families.

The world is currently generating double the amount of plastic waste compared to two decades ago, and a significant portion of this waste is either disposed of in landfills, incinerated, or released into the environment. According to a recent report from the OECD, only 9% of this plastic waste is successfully recycled.

As the global population and incomes continue to rise, there is an ongoing and substantial increase in the production and disposal of plastic.

In response to this critical issue, direct investments are being made in women in the developing world to empower them to operate small businesses focused on recycling plastic within their communities. Such investments have the potential to benefit not only local communities but also contribute to addressing the global plastic waste crisis. By supporting initiatives like these, we can make a meaningful impact on both a local and global scale.

We're investing directly into women in the developing world to help run small businesses recycling plastic within their communities.

Chicago Community Loan Fund (CCLF) plays a unique role in community development throughout Chicagoland: the loans often fill credit gaps that few other lenders can or will cover, such as complete financing for very small projects or gaps in larger projects.  

CCLF is often the first lender to finance a compelling community development project, making a critical difference in whether it moves forward—or not. Their energy and patience allow them to champion challenging, but high-impact projects. Typically, their early loans pave the way for additional financing from other lenders and funders.  

They don’t just do loans. They roll up our sleeves and provide customized technical assistance and support to help local visionaries succeed. Organizations discover new resources and grow by working with them. They particularly encourage the use of sustainable building practices in projects they finance.

You can invest right here, right now, to bring clean, affordable energy to African communities. Huge parts of Africa, mostly remote rural villages, are un-electrified to this day.

Buy cool stuff, and save lives- how does that sound? Yeah, kind of a no-brainer. When it comes to health, almost nothing is more effective at saving lives than simply catching disease and illnesses early. That’s why an accurate diagnosis early on is so important. 

Over a half billion Africans lack access to the kind of simple diagnostics that make this possible. The cost? Millions of Africans dying of treatable diseases every year - prevented if only they could be identified before it's too late. You can invest in Illara Health to change this.

That way, clinics can address a broader set of health needs to increase their quality of care and revenue.

Buy cool stuff, help fund a school- how does that sound? We think it sounds pretty great. Invest in Fundacion Paraguaya to bring the power of knowledge to young people around the world. 

Fundacion Paraguaya helps young people in Paraguay and across the world escape poverty by giving them the knowledge and tools to run a successful business in their most prevalent industry- agriculture. This means not just access to education, but access to a relevant, quality education has the power to help bring young people out of poverty. 

Fundacion Paraguaya creates self-sufficient agricultural schools that teach students innovative techniques and useful skills for running a business. In communities like these, families have been farming for generations. It’s not a matter of knowing how to grow the crop, but of how to make money and be financially successful doing it. These schools are run as businesses, with real livestock and crops. In math class, students learn how to calculate the break even point of a chicken coop. Then, they get hands-on experience applying what they have learned. 

Does this really work? Just ask Jorge Guerrero. Jorge comes from Cerrito, a small community in Paraguay where he is the 10th of 19 children. Previously, opportunities for his family had been limited, but in 9th grade he joined Fundación Paraguaya’s agricultural school. Today Jorge is a university student studying agronomy, and the owner of a micro firm called BIOGRAN, which he uses to fund his university studies.

Here’s a radical idea- Let’s put food on tables, not in landfills. 

Over one billion tons of food is wasted every year. Despite an abundance of food being grown worldwide, almost 40% doesn't make it to market. Perfectly good food gets thrown out because of packaging imperfections, visual defects, or upcoming expiration dates. There’s no shortage of hungry people who would happily take this ‘ugly’ food, but most of it is simply thrown away because the cost of transporting it to them is just too high. This makes food insecurity less an issue of food quantity and more an issue of availability - we have the food, we just need to get it to the right people. 

Nilus works with farmers and distributors to reclaim deliciously ‘ugly’ food that would otherwise be thrown away, and brings it to local hungry, low income populations. It’s delivered to community kitchens or sold at ultra affordable prices (an average 10x lower than what they would pay at a supermarket). This reduces food waste, creates jobs for drivers, and brings fresh nutritious foods to communities at a fraction of the usual price. 

Investing here means helping low income neighborhoods get access to reliable, affordable, and healthy food.

The Cooperative Fund of New England was born over forty years ago to invest in and guide democratically-run businesses (worked-owned cooperatives) across the North East. What are worker co-ops? Put simply, they're companies equally and jointly owned  by every employee where most decisions are made by democratic vote. Co-ops tend to be radically community-oriented given that they're run by locals, for the local community - there's simply no disconnect between the owners (investors) and the workers.

Since inception the Co-op Fund has built over 5,000 affordable homes and supported local co-ops to create 10,000 new jobs for predominantly low income people in the North East.

The "traditional" conception of business is simple: focus on making shareholders rich selling products that might actively be ruining the world. As people who kind of like having a livable planet we think that last part needs a little work.

A social enterprise is an organization that fuses profit and purpose, doing good by scaling sales and scaling scales through the good they do. These can range pretty widely from charities that sell some product or service (to rely less on donations) to businesses with purposes in their corporate charters.
