Corporate Gifting Supports Diverse Small Business Sources
The 2021 Impact Report describes how Packed with Purpose has worked to create meaningful social impact and strengthen human connections through corporate gifting. Packed with Purpose's collaboration with Nunbelievable, for example, helped the cookie company reach their goal of donating 1 million meals through their 1:1 giveback concept. Gifts from the Lambs Farm vocational program provided meaningful employment to 177 individuals with developmental disabilities throughout 2021. Success stories like these underscore the significance of Packed with Purpose's impact-driven approach to gifting without compromising quality and customer service.
"As a company dedicated to making outsized impact with every gift, our relationship with our Impact Partners fuels everything we do," says Founder and CEO Leeatt Rothschild. "Sharing their stories, lifting their brands, and creating opportunities for collaboration helps us mutually support one another through today's current economic challenges."
In 2021, Packed with Purpose highlighted collaborations with diverse and woman-owned Impact Partners. Black, AAPI, LGBTQIA+, veteran, Latino/a and women-owned companies like Kanda Chocolates, Ommie Snacks and Veteran Roasters helped under-resourced communities thrive during the pandemic with a supportive small business ecosystem.
Packed with Purpose has also strengthened its environmental commitment. By using 100% recyclable packaging materials in every corporate gift box, every gift arrives guilt-free and with as little waste as possible. All gifts include an artful Impact Booklet, printed on Forest Stewardship Council-certified paper, with details on how Impact Partners contributed to diverse sourcing and sustainable gifting.
Packed with Purpose and its Impact Partners facilitated social and environmental change during a year of heightened uncertainty and challenges. In 2022, Packed with Purpose is committed to infusing every corporate gift with purpose and impact.
