Impact Makers delivers information technology and management consulting professional services, focused on the healthcare industry. We are a non-stock, "competitive" social venture - the critical difference between Impact Makers and our competitors is that all of our profits go directly to our charitable community partners. Impact Makers transforms economic value into social value for our community. Specifically, Impact Makers is truly innovative in that it provides professional services at market prices, competes with other firms to win business, pays market salaries to its employees, has a volunteer Board of Directors and books open to the public, and contributes strategic consulting, and all profits, to charitable community organizations.
What is the change we seek?
Our vision is to transform the way businesses support their employees and their communities, and to proliferate our alternative organizational form that helps to achieve this lofty goal. Our specific model turns the profits of our consulting firm into wealth creation for the community rather than for shareholders. How? By creating a partnership between our "competitive" social venture and a charitable nonprofit partner that provides direct services to the community.
Why we became a Founding B Corporation
Impact Makers and B Lab have a shared mission to generally promote social purpose organizations. Both organizations are creating innovative ways to insert and enforce the social mission of corporations into the founding principles of organizations. Impact Makers has a unique new "hybrid" social venture model that goes beyond the already rigorous requirements of all B corporations; specifically, Impact Makers does not have any equity ownership (no shareholders) and exists to solely maximize community stakeholder value.
