Social enterprises create jobs and build communities as businesses take responsibility for their environmental impact and the well being of their employees. These businesses are motivated more by public and social good than by the need for personal profit.

Independent media sources provide communities with information about their government and their community. Both in the US and abroad, access to information is essential for communities to grow. Through the promotion of public radio and independent media sources, your investment dollars can inform and educate people about their surroundings, and protect democratic values vital to the public interest.
Fair Trade
Fair trade guarantees farmers a fair price while also encouraging social and environmental sustainability. By investing in fair trade organizations, we are helping farmers purchase equipment and machinery that might otherwise be financially out of reach, which in turn increases their chances of higher profits. Fair Trade also impacts the surrounding community since it provides income to pay school fees for farmers' children, puts food on the table and creates a higher standard of living.
