The Monarch School: Our Collaboration with Homeless Youth
There are over 20,000 homeless students in San Diego County. Let that sink in. The number is still sinking deep for a lot of us here – it’s a reality that we see when we walk from our homes to the office, from our parking garage to the nearby gym or coffee house. Over the past couple […]

Mid-Year Pulse: Our Favorite Social Good Orgs So Far in 2017
Sometimes our work takes us closer to the trying events than the lighter ones, and in most cases we’d consider ourselves fortunate for that. Because through it all, we get to work on the things that matter to us, and we get to help our society, however little, in good times and in bad. So […]

With the financial infrastructure of many non-profits relying largely on individuals’ donations, are 501(3)(c)’s capitalizing on online giving? And if not, what are they doing wrong? When it […]

The End of a Dirty Word?
Recently we’ve been doing some serious thinking with IJM, an organization committed to seeking justice globally. In our research we came across a word that many of us relate to the global struggle for freedom: exploitation. But, we found a much more positive history to the word and thought we’d enlighten you… Words can change […]

The Upside of Giving
”Giving activates the same part of the mind as sex and chocolate.” What?? Wait. For real? Upon hearing that, I thought it was ridiculous. I would have dismissed it but the source behind it was someone whom I would believe if she told me the sky was purple. So I scoured the internet. It turns […]

When Punk Rockers Turn Do-Gooders
Now that he’s head honcho at Fifty & Fifty, Javan Van Gronigen keeps a low profile. He hung up his wallet-chain and ditched the studded dog collar a long time ago. He’s dialed his use of the f-word way down and hasn’t sported a shaved head since the Clinton administration. A little known fact: this CEO […]

Why Clicktivism Isn’t Slacktivism
Clicktivism gets a bad rap by plenty of haters on the web, but lately there have been some fantastic examples of effective digital activism.
