Giving back is at the core of what we do
At Mindful money, we believe that generosity is one of the eight pillars of happiness - which is why we give back 100% of our profits. We have returned over $500,000 and counting to our local community.
These are some of our favorite organizations:
Rotacare Bay Area
Rotacare is a volunteer-driven provider of free healthcare for the uninsured in our community. Mindful Money has been a supporter of Rotacare Bay Area's free medication program since its inception.
Insight Housing (Formerly Berkeley Food & Housing Project)
Insight Housing (Formerly Berkeley Food & Housing Project) is a provider of emergency, transitional, and permanent supportive housing as well as re-housing, food and vocational support for homeless communities across northern California. Jonathan has served on their Board and has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for their programs and services.
