Create Common Good (CCG) is a 501(c)3 non-profit social enterprise whose mission is to help others achieve self-sufficiency and financial independence by providing food service job training and job placement assistance to people with barriers to employment. Refugees, immigrants, individuals escaping domestic violence, or those with incarceration or addiction in their past have all identified barriers and successfully overcome them through CCG's training and job placement program. Create Common Good is building a sustainable and replicable model that does not rely exclusively on grants and donations to achieve its mission. Rather, we are modeling self-sufficiency by generating sustainable, repeatable revenue through our business-to-business food production that leverages the vital investment of our donors to create longer-lasting impact.

At Photon, our vision is to preserve the planet’s waterways and oceans through the adoption of electric propulsion technology. When compared to boats powered by internal combustion engines, we estimate that our product will reduce the total cost of ownership by almost half, require less maintenance without sacrificing performance while eliminating the use of fossil fuels. This is a clear and ripe opportunity for technical innovation that’s good for people, planet, and profit. We are developing an electric outboard motor system and integrated fleet management software platform to provide an alternative propulsion system for small boat vessels. The system includes a first in-class electric motor (300 HP, 63 kWh battery) and software capable of providing predictive maintenance, optimized operator profiles, fleet management, telemetry, and eventually, semi-autonomous functions. The software platform will also enable our revenue model, a lease optimized to actual use. We will initially target tourism and transportation fleets including businesses such as whale watching, scuba and snorkel, boat rentals, charter fishing, and water taxis. We have developed a blueprint for how to bring key stakeholders to the table, including small businesses, utility companies, governmental and regulatory organizations, marinas, and charging infrastructure partners. This blueprint is currently being built for the state of Oregon and will be replicated in our target markets.

NightLight is an international organization compelled by love to reach out to, rescue, and restore all those who are negatively impacted by sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. NightLight branches exist to build relationships and provide hope, intervention, and assistance to individuals in the sex industry through programs designed specifically for each branch’s local context. NightLight branches also build support networks nationally and internationally to intervene and assist those whose lives are negatively impacted by the sex industry. In the United States, NightLight International operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with both our administrative headquarters and NightLight Design US Sales/Operations team based in Springfield, Missouri. Our Springfield office also houses NightLight Missouri, our local branch which offers direct services to individuals impacted by trafficking and exploitation. In Thailand, Nightlight operates as a Thai non-profit, NightLight Foundation, and as a freedom business, NightLight Design, Co. Ltd, both housed in Bangkok. Our vision is to offer intervention to sexually exploited women and children, to enable them to discover their dignity, and to provide a program of holistic transformation, empowering them to live and work in their community.
