Honest Jobs is the leading national job marketplace for people affected by the criminal justice system. Were on a mission to be the hub where people with criminal records come to build careers and employers come to find great talent. Since launching in 2018, we have attracted 1,400+ employers by providing technology and services that make it easy to offer fair-chance employment. We know first-hand the challenges our job seekers face and are dedicated to helping them find better jobs faster.

Easy Expunctions leverages technology to assure our customers a clear and cost-effective solution to clearing criminal records. We seek to inform and empower people interacting with the criminal justice system, and create a fast-track to justice with guaranteed results. We are a team who cares about our fellow human beings and believes in second chances. We want people to feel safe, valued, and able to pursue their goals. We seek, share and apply knowledge and feedback to drive our innovation and increase our efficiency and positive impact. We vigorously protect the confidentiality of the criminal data we possess/access and seek to empower individuals eligible for getting their record cleared. We unquestionably offer those in front of us our time and full attention, with a goal of helping them with whatever they need. We select and use capital, human and natural resources mindfully for maximum benefit and minimal harm. Our customers will always be our top priority.

Uptrust connects and engages low-income defendants to the services and support they need to avoid jail. Millions of people are jailed every year because they miss court and other mandatory appointments. A failure to appear (FTA) results in incarceration that can be avoided 99% of the time through proper communication and incentive. Uptrust eliminates FTAs, bench warrants, and the resulting incarceration through our unique two-way reminder system. We provide a win-win to all stakeholders: measurable financial savings and huge social benefits to the communities we serve. Uptrust operates in some of America’s largest cities in California, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Florida and Virginia and will be expanding to even more jurisdictions this year. In the summer of 2017, Uptrust welcomed the Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation to our board. The Foundation is a global venture philanthropy firm supporting early stage, high impact social enterprises. Uptrust is a Public Benefit Corporation.

Realize Impact is a 501(c)(3) public charity that mobilizes philanthropic capital to invest in socially and environmentally impactful startups and funds. Our purpose is to make impact investing easy, rewarding, and possible for everyone. Learn more at www.realizeimpact.org. There’s a myth out there that you can’t (or shouldn’t) invest in doing good in the world and reap a financial reward. The tradeoff: The more you invest in solving the world’s most pressing issues—like global poverty, climate change, or the housing crisis—the less financial return you can (or should) expect. But what if that wasn’t true? At Realize Impact, we do more than reject that myth. We enable its opposite. Every day, we work to make impact investing—investing in positive social or environmental benefit and seeking financial return—easy, rewarding, and possible. We do this because it’s critical. The problems we’re collectively facing today are big, and when we make assumptions about solving them—like, that it’s the government’s job to solve climate change, or it’s philanthropy’s job to solve hunger—we diminish our very potential to do so. Sure, government and philanthropy are useful tools. But we need the whole tool belt. That means broadening our support to include environmentally and socially driven for-profits: organizations that dream big, move quickly, and can scale to create solutions near and far, whether it’s housing for refugees in Spokane, micro-lending for low-income women entrepreneurs of color in California, sustainable agribusiness in Kenya, or ocean plastic removal around the world. At Realize Impact, we know that people want their charitable dollars to have an impact, and we understand they want to manage their assets wisely, too. But far too often, money that could be used to drive change is parked on Wall Street. We’re here to empower entrepreneurs and for-profits to make an impact at a far greater scale than philanthropy alone.
