The vision for Phin has remained unchanged since we founded the company in 2019: to be an exponential force for good and compassion. Full stop.
If we unpack that vision, the one word that stands out is 'exponential.’ How do we achieve a far greater impact with the resources we can deploy to solve the world's unending challenges?
In short, we believe in the power of business. Creating a values-based company culture built on a foundation of trust isn't just aspirational, it's good business. Phin helps companies understand their purpose beyond profit and multiply their impact, every day. By delivering real business value to company leaders, we incentivize investment in philanthropy. In short, we exponentially generate donations for charitable organizations, where none existed before.
So why are we excited by simple punctuation?
Because we just added a comma to our total donations generated through Phin...$1,000,000!
In fact, the total as of today is over $1,250,000 with two commas instead of one, a highly exponential piece of punctuation.
There are a few reasons why this is such a major milestone.
First, let's be honest, it's just a darn fine looking number.
Secondly, It took us three years to go from zero to $10,000 to $500,000. Then just one year to double it to over $1,000,000 dollars. That's a lovely curve on a chart.
The main reason it is so gratifying is the good work we have done!
It is the equivalent of 1,000,000 million trees through One Tree Planted or 2,000,000 meals through Island Harvest.
It's the equivalent of 77,000 people being provided with drinkable water through Saha Global.
It’s 50 companies funding donations to 330 charities, each charity receiving on average a total of $3,500.
It's 15,000 empowered employees and customers, donating company philanthropic funds 23,000 times with an average of $50 per donation.
For this, we thank the team at Phin and the company leaders, our customers, who said 'yes' and funded this remarkable, collective impact. Of course, the reason these funds have this impact is the wonderful charities that have both the vision and determination to effect genuine change in the world.
With the depth of the Phin community, we are now on our way. And we better be, we have a few more commas to add to that beautiful number representing so much impact, $100,000,000.
