Impact Report
Mission & Impact Model
When leaders are more effective, organizations are more effective, and the humans within them are happier. And when nonprofits are more effective, our communities are stronger.
Thrive Street’s mission and our core work is to enable that impact.
Our business model directly supports that mission in two ways:
First, Thrive Street provides discounted rates for nonprofits to make our services accessible. Second, Thrive Street donates 20% of revenue from private sector engagements to charities in our community.
