Coalition Timing
April 2022 - TBD
The cannabis industry has benefited greatly from a product whose prohibition was weaponized to disempower Black and brown people and their communities. The Cannabis Impact Coalition is an ongoing campaign devoted to bringing cannabis brands together to create a conscious cannabis sector. As cannabis business leaders, we need to take action to right the wrongs of the past and help create solutions for a better future.
ShoppingGives, the leading social impact commerce platform, in partnership with the Cannabis Impact Fund, calls on cannabis brands to join in the effort. Coalition participants will fundraise by pledging to donate a percentage of their proceeds to support the Cannabis Impact Fund and the supported nonprofit grantees.
About the Cannabis Impact Fund
ShoppingGives is proud to partner with the Cannabis Impact Fund, a 501c(3) with fiscal agency from long-time cannabis advocate and champion, Sensible Colorado.
Cannabis Impact Fund’s pillars are racial justice, environmental sustainability and community engagement. This new Impact Fund allows us to focus the next 12 months solely on racial justice efforts within and outside of cannabis, a privilege and opportunity we are excited to grow in partnership with our Founding Members, Pledge Partners and community donors.
Founded during the racial reckoning in the Summer of 2020,s, we are dedicated to supporting nationwide profits that center racial justice by providing bi-annual grants to our five selected grantees: The Bail Project, Black Futures Lab, Color of Change, The Hood Incubator and Minorities for Medical Marijuana. Cannabis Impact Fund makes the right thing, the easy thing by creating pathways for cannabis, hemp and all companies to support racial justice.
As the cannabis industry continues to go global and mainstream, we are reminded that cannabis leaders and companies can make a difference and be the change we want to see in the world. Join us as we do courageous, hard, humble work – together.
