This International Literacy Day, we celebrate the incredible work of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, which gifts a book each month to children from birth to age five, fostering early literacy and a lifelong love of reading.

Inspired by Dolly Parton’s belief in the power of stories, this initiative doesn’t just teach kids to read—it gives them the tools to imagine, create, and thrive. Though we mourn her passing, her legacy of compassion, generosity, and belief in the transformative power of literacy lives on through the millions of children touched by her vision.

We’re proud to have supported local chapters of Imagination Library, helping spark a love for reading in communities everywhere. But the journey doesn’t end here. Find a chapter near you and be part of the story!

This Labor Day, we’re inspired by Lift All Boats—a great example of how an organization can use its brand to create real economic opportunity and lift up communities.

Monthly Dose of Inspiration The subject of this dose is a personal friend and role model. Ben Conniff (picture below, right) joined Luke's Lobster to help run and scale the business.

This August—and every month—let’s honor the power of Black giving, leadership, and generosity in creating lasting change. Black philanthropy isn’t just about donations; it’s about investing in communities, amplifying voices, and building a future where equity and dignity thrive for all.

Join the movement by supporting Black-led nonprofits, sharing resources, or exploring ways to give back.

It's National Nonprofit Day! And a fun reminder about the best part of our work -- getting to know new nonprofits every day and learning about the hundreds of ways they're making a difference in communities nationwide. Since day one, we've worked to connect companies with outstanding nonprofits, shining a special light on smaller organizations and hidden gems that aren't always considered for corporate funding. To the 1.8M+ nonprofits in the U.S. alone -- THANK YOU for your work and grit and the incredible impact you have on people and places every day. What's your favorite nonprofit?

Today is International Youth Day. The theme this year, “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations,” reflects on the power of global solidarity and shared dreams. It reminds us that while young people around the world face unique challenges—whether in education, climate action, or economic opportunity—the aspirations for justice, progress, and a sustainable future are universal. This day isn’t just about acknowledging those differences; it’s about celebrating the innovative solutions youth bring to their communities, proving that creativity and determination can bridge even the widest gaps. By standing together, we turn individual struggles into collective strength and transform common challenges into opportunities for change. 🌍✨
