FINNOVATION Institute

For 2023 Give to the Max Day, can you help us help impact entrepreneurs? 

One big way that impact-driven companies reach consumers who care about sustainability, equity, and impact is through the certification process. Whether the entrepreneur wants to be certified as a minority-owned or woman-owned business, or they'd like to pursue B-Corps status, or Fair Trade, the process can be overwhelming and time-consuming. At FINNOVATION Institute, we know how to make the impact entrepreneurial journey less lonely and accelerate the change we all want to see in the world.  A successful campaign enables FINNOVATION Institute to build a series of certification workshops led by experts, giving entrepreneurs the opportunity to move through the process with a peer group and advisors. Not only does this approach help founders realize their goals faster, it builds community among a diverse set of businesses!
