A commitment to social good.
Social Stock is the next step in uniting capitalism with social good. Here you can invest in companies and organizations focused on the betterment of humanity while also supporting work only non-profits can do.
Who you are.
You a vision for harnessing the power of the free market in order to tackle social problems.
You and your investors are focused on addressing poverty, hunger, and inequality—not just turning a profit. But traditional methods of collecting and distributing financial investments aren’t designed to maximize positive social impacts.
You want there to be a way to harness the power of financial investment as a force for social good.
This is the ethos behind Social Stock, a new impact-based investment infrastructure.
How it’s different.
Social Stock is like a savings account designed specifically for social good. Where traditional investment develops capital by collecting interest on money as it sits stagnant and unused, Social Stock investment multiplies impact by making money active. Money is reinvested in enterprises or other charities that benefit society, thus creating multiple impacts as it moves.
Social Stock vets the companies we invest in, ensuring they’re focused on impact in the ways that are important to us: they pay workers fairly, improve ecosystems, and enrich communities.

Who we are.
We are a team who have been studying and shaping the ways governments and NGOs help society. We have accomplished this through over 15 years of work developing nonprofits and communities, designing community programs that continue to influence US policy, organizing multiple local and statewide coalitions that serve our community, and transforming relationships between fortune-500 companies and low-income communities,
In short, we’re people who know how to set the conditions for investments to eclipse ESG expectations—and generate profits that pass forward and self-sustain.
Impact Over Interest.
And now we’ve designed a model in which participating companies all strengthen each other. We know that Social Stock can be a pool of funds that compounds impact rather than simply accrues interest—and that it can incentivize for-profit companies to invest in social good, too!
We’re building this incrementally, beginning with a soft launch in 2025, in which we’ll improve our processes before announcing the concept broadly. We’ll release our white paper in 2026 and open it to the public.
In order to ensure the integrity of Social Stock, we’re limiting participation to within what we know can be managed safely and ensure effective growth. Slow and steady wins the race.
That’s why the best way to help us build an impactful new force for social good is for us to hear from you now.
“As even a moment’s reflection suggests, human beings are not money-making robots. The essential fact about humans is that they are multidimensional beings. Their happiness comes from many sources, not just from making money. And yet economists have built their whole theory of business on the assumption that human beings do nothing in their economic lives besides pursue selfish interests. The theory concludes that the optimal result for society will occur when each individual’s search for selfish benefit is given free rein. This interpretation of human beings denies any role to other aspects of life—political, social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, and so on.”
