A light bulb went off for me that I bet you're thinking about too: funding strategies for social impact that combine a mix of non-profit and venture investing. Let me grab your attention with real-life examples below. I know that we can build social impact together because I helped create the social impact outlined below with partners just like you.

Isannah
With the birth of Carrie's daughter Lily Isannah, Carrie began thinking about jewelry as a gift that could be passed down along with the experiences we share. Carrie partners with artisans from around the world to create Isannah jewelry designs. The supply chain and production of Isannah jewelry contributes positively to society; so do the sales. 100-percent of proceeds from the sale of Isannah jewelry benefit charity. May you wear Isannah jewelry in good health and with good conscience. Beautiful. Meaningful. Jewelry.

“Carrie has strong and wide-ranging communication skills. I have observed her in many different settings – complete range of age groups, challenging situations/audiences, uplifting and inspirational topics/ groups, etc. and she has the skills to excel in any forum. I have also witnessed her in panel settings where the other panelists are far more experienced and Carrie always outperforms them. She has truly unique and gifted skills.”
