Sustainability built into the core of your company
Core Social Impact is built for any company that knows social impact and sustainability should be a part of your company from the beginning but don’t have the time, expertise or resources to build it from scratch.
WHAT
We build social impact and sustainability into the core of your company, embedding it into your mission and ensuring the market advantages it creates.
Most importantly, we help your company make the planet and the community core to your mission.
WHY
Corporate social impact isn’t just “good” it’s good business.
When you add a social impact program later in your company’s development, it can make your intention to “do good” feel aftermarket, less authentic, and less core to your business and brand.
WHY NOW?
When you build social impact into your company early, social impact becomes authentically core to your
business.
brand.
culture.
Early stage companies can leverage their social impact ethos and programs to gain business advantage and go toe to toe with larger competitors to attract talent, customers, and investors. In these uncertain economic times, we help you build a social impact program that can generate revenue and fund additional impact programs.

THE SOLUTION
We build your social impact program quickly by using our tried and tested process and framework designed from a decade of building successful corporate social impact programs.
We design and launch your social impact program in as little as (3) months.
We use these four tactical steps:
Assess & Design your unique social impact North Star that maps how your company can have the most positive impact,
Launch & Communicate your roadmap to your board and employees,
Build one or more key social impact programs, i.e. Nonprofit product sales & discounts, Philanthropy, Employee volunteering, Sustainability, or DEI.
Train & Support your internal staff to maintain the program long term
The Core Social Impact Process
Our process is designed to ensure maximum outcomes with minimal management bandwidth needed.
Step 01
Assess & Design
In month one we connect with your internal point person and run our early stage social impact assessment (including an employee input survey) & market benchmark. Additionally we will:
Facilitate your first impact design session with key stakeholders,
Craft your company's unique social impact north star,
Determine which social impact programs to launch for you.

Launch & Communicate
In month two we design your “launch roadmap” that outlines key milestones and metrics for your social impact program launch and operations. We conduct your 2nd impact design session where you review, iterate, and approve the launch roadmap. We also design your company all hands launch deck for you to use to communicate to and engage all employees.

Train & Support
Once your programs have been launched we invite an internal point person from your company to join the Core Social Impact Collective. The Collective is made up of other high growth companies in our portfolio at about the same stage as yours. Our team runs monthly sessions to train, coach, and connect social impact leads at high growth early stage companies to ensure the long-term success of your program and to encourage collaboration between companies.
