EOC Week 3 - Making Money for Good

While conducting my research, I found a lot of different companies that make money for good causes, something that isn't too common nowadays. TOMS shoes are a prime example of serving a good dead for the global communities. For every pair of shoes they sell, they give one away to someone in need, somewhere in the world. Another company that find its sole purpose is to help promote literacy across the world, is 'Better World Books.' They claim the title of "the online bookstore with a soul." "In addition to selling new titles, Better World Books supports book drives and collects used books and textbooks through a network of over 1,800 college campuses and partnerships with over 2,000 libraries nationwide. So far, the company has converted more than 53 million books into over $8.6 million in funding for literacy and education. In the process, also diverted more than 26,000 tons of books from landfills."

They are an independent water bottling company who donate 100% of their profits to help America's waterways be kept clean. Another company who donate all their profits is Humanitas Wine, which is a winery in Napa, California. They donate all their profits to Feeding American, and Habitat for Humanity.
