Corporate social spending is on the rise as businesses face growing pressure from stakeholders to make a positive impact in the communities they serve and throughout their supply chains. This demand is further intensified by regulatory scrutiny, such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Directive, which requires European companies to measure and report their material impact on communities and supply chains. Additionally, the SEC is cracking down on cause-washing and green-washing claims, holding public companies accountable for their social impact commitments. On the other hand, impact-producing organizations, like nonprofits and social enterprises, struggle to receive funding based on their efficacy rather than reputation. Despite their agility and crisis response capabilities, only a small fraction of international humanitarian aid reaches these local organizations. Their time is consumed by fundraising efforts, grant applications, and reporting, limiting their capacity to scale their impact. Enter OutcomesX, the social outcome marketplace that bridges the gap between corporations and impact producers. By providing verifiable impact and equitable capital allocation, the platform empowers impact producers to access global funding and focus on driving meaningful change. The key features of OutcomesX include standardizing, pricing, trading, and reporting on social impact credits, simplifying the process for buyers to connect with the most effective impact producers while reducing administrative burdens on both buyers and producers. OutcomesX transforms corporate social responsibility from a buzzword to a measurable force for good, benefiting businesses, impact producers, and the communities they serve, and driving sustainable growth for a better world.

Miracle Messages is a nonprofit reunion service for people experiencing homelessness to reconnect with their loved ones. Their approach is simple and effective: a person isolated by homelessness records a short video, audio, or written message to a family member or friend, often with the help of a local referral partner, trained outreach volunteer, or formerly homeless ambassador. Then, dozens of internet-savvy "digital detectives" attempt to locate the loved one, deliver the message, and facilitate a reunion. Miracle Messages offers a humane way to help end homelessness: reconnect families, shatter stigmas, and empower local residents to get involved. To date, Miracle Messages has reunited 266 families, with an average time disconnected of 15 years, using a mobile app, online and paper-based forms, and 1-800-MISS-YOU hotline. 80% of delivered messages have been positively received, and dozens of reunions have resulted in getting a client off-the-streets, all at a fraction of the cost of other interventions. Miracle Messages' community believes that everyone is someone's somebody. Their work has been featured in the New York Times, Brut, NowThis, on a billboard in Times Square, in a TED talk, and 600 other publications, receiving over 100 million views. Founder Kevin F. Adler started Miracle Messages in honor of his uncle, who lived on-and-off the streets for 30 years. Miracle Messages is on a mission to end relational poverty on the streets and, in the process, inspire people everywhere to embrace their homeless neighbors not as problems to be solved, but as people to be loved.
