Voting results are in for our first round of donations!

Posted by Alex Payson at 10:06 am

On March 31st we closed customer voting on our first group of four excellent causes.

Results are as follows:

National Even Start Association- 32.7%
Democratic Candidates and Organizations- 27.1%
World Resources Institute- 21.1%
Disabled American Veterans- 19.1%

Congratulations to all of our recipients and keep up the good work that you are doing!
As a new company we do not yet have profits to speak of, however we are dedicated to our mission of donating to progressive causes. This quarter we have decided to split $5,000 amongst the four causes according to how you all voted.

You can read about our next group of causes to vote for on our causes page.

Branson pledges billions to Clinton Global Initiative

Posted by Bridie at 6:32 pm

Another reason to love Richard Branson (as if bringing us Culture Club and The Rebel Billionaire weren’t enough):

“Our generation has inherited an incredibly beautiful world from our parents and they from their parents. We must not be the generation responsible for irreversibly damaging the environment. We must hand it over to our children in as near pristine a condition as we were lent it from our parents.”
