Founded in 2015, Great Hearts Initiatives™ celebrates and supports the people and organizations that are doing good in the world. Our story is really the collective stories of many people coming together to make a difference. The compassion shown by greathearted people is our inspiration. Great Hearts Initiatives™ is an innovator in fostering people engagement. Great Hearts Initiatives™ is also a performance accelerator helping those who are doing good to do more, better. Our work includes: - Making connections among giving people and causes; - Helping people to experience the physical and emotional benefits of giving—the “giver’s glow”; - Amplifying and supporting the important work of causes and nonprofits regardless of their size; and - Providing strategic and operational services to nonprofits to increase their capabilities. - By bringing together people who are helping others, and by supporting their efforts, Great Hearts Initiatives™ will expand abilities to make a lasting impact and empower healthier and more fulfilling lives. Our Philosophy - Everyone has something to give. - The desire to give is natural and fundamental to the human spirit. - The compassion and dedication shown by greathearted people is inspiring. - People working together can make a remarkable impact for good. Our Business Model Great Hearts Initiatives™ is a social enterprise — a for profit business that addresses social issues. We believe that the social enterprise model is the right fit for our mission and goals. It took a great deal of consideration to decide on a for profit model. Using the social enterprise model helps reach our goal of creating a giving platform that ensures the maximum portion of financial contributions goes to charities--ideally 100 percent. Great Hearts Initiatives is privately held and encourages investment in nonprofits and community-based organizations rather than itself.
