To ensure you’re able to be as transparent as possible with your customers, we have made it super easy for you to access reporting and analysis features to track the progress of donations in real-time to the organizations directly through your Impact Hub.

But don’t take our word for it, here are a few of the 5,000+ brands that utilize Give & Grow to power their impact in a variety of ways while increasing their overall LTV by over 40%.
1. Once Upon a Farm
The healthy children's snack company, founded by actress Jennifer Garner, has pledged to contribute 1 million meals through Save the Children by 2024 for children in communities experiencing food insecurity as part of their Million Meals Program.
In addition to offering customer donations at checkout & donating a portion of proceeds from a selection of their products, they have also donated a percentage of their profits. Since starting the program, nearly 170,000 meals have already been donated!
A great way to complement these efforts is through their display of a real-time Impact Calculator to show progress results & boost momentum - all seamlessly powered by Pledge.
2. Rhode Skin
The skincare brand created by model Hailey Bieber developed the "Futures Fund" to support 1,000 women and their families by 2023, partnering with 3 organizations that provide women, especially those of color, with resources to direct their own futures focusing on three pillars: women’s health, the future of work & guaranteed income for moms. For every sale made, Rhode provides a percentage of proceeds to go towards this fund!
3. Vessel
Starting on Zero Emissions Day this past September, Vessel launched a limited-time campaign with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 5,000 trees by the end of 2022 to help contribute to the nonprofit's national reforestation efforts.
