Here’s How It Works
Initiate
Good Returns works with companies to understand the specific cause areas and geographic regions they wish to impact and identifies potential Impact Organizations.
Due Diligence
Good Returns' rigorous due diligence process assesses each Impact Organization’s ability to effectively use and repay capital for impact.
Guarantee & Funding
Through our partnerships with foundations and impact investors, Good Returns structures a guarantee for 100% of each company’s cycled capital. After issuing the guarantee, companies disburse funds to Good Returns who, in turn, disburse the funds to selected Impact Organizations.
Impact & Program
Impact Organizations leverage this interest-free capital to scale their missions and generate sustainable impact in their respective fields. Good Returns works closely with these Impact Organizations to produce powerful stories of hope generated by the cycled capital. Good Returns stories are curated for participating companies, and we help them communicate the content effectively with employees, customers, and their communities – creating significant new value for both companies and Impact Organizations.
Repayment
Cycles are repaid and can optionally be recycled, creating additional impact without requiring additional funds. Each Cycle, companies can also elect to fund new Impact Organizations, cause areas, or geographic regions.
