The local organization, Business for Good, has been named to Fast Company’s third annual list of Brands That Matter.

The list recognizes brands that demonstrate their purpose and are making a positive impact on the world.

Business for Good was named as one of just four companies in the “On the Rise” category, which honors businesses that have been in operation for less than four years.

Business for Good focuses on combining financial investment with the social impact of philanthropy.

In the last few years, Business for Good launched a program in the Capital Region to provide high potential entrepreneurs and organizations with the funding, connections, mentoring, and other contributions that they need.

The organization created an ecosystem where all businesses that Business for Good supports thereby help each other.
