‘Tis the season of giving and receiving. Consider adding For-Purpose/Non-Profit foundations or charities to your giving list this year. Choose something that solves a problem where you’re personally invested. Here are two incredibly impactful organizations to get started with, Comfort Cases and charity:water.

Comfort Cases provides backpacks and suitcases filled with age appropriate necessities to children in foster care. Founded by foster parents, Rob and Reece Scheer after seeing children arriving in their home with very few belongings in trash bags. Today 150,000 Comfort Cases have been distributed since 2013.

charity:water brings clean and safe water to developing countries through wells serving over 13,000,000 people in 29 countries. Water is essential and for some people retrieving water is a daily treacherous and sometimes deadly feat. charity:water assembles the equipment needed for digging wells in communities to make water accessible.

You will impact someone’s life in ways you’ll never understand. Be kind.
