Making a Difference With Stripe Climate | Wisdom Born Consulting

Wisdom Born Consulting is dedicated to supporting initiatives that promote environmental justice and sustainability. By collaborating with organizations striving to make a positive impact on the environment, I have gained valuable insights and knowledge. Through Frontier, an Advance Market Commitment (AMC), established by Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, Meta, McKinsey, and tens of thousands of businesses using Stripe Climate, some of the projects funded include: Spiritus (Spiritus | Home), EDAC Labs (EDAC Labs), Vycarb (Vycarb (vy-carb.com), Airhive (Airhive – Direct Air Capture for Rapid Carbon Removal and Decarbonisation), Kodama (Kodama Systems | Restoring forests for future generations) and others. Wisdom Born Consulting currently contributes 1% of its revenue to support carbon removal initiatives.

As a Stripe Climate contributor, I am committed to furthering these efforts and contributing to a more sustainable future for all. My goal is to continue learning, growing, and advocating for environmental justice in every way possible. Together, we can make a difference and create a more equitable and eco-conscious world for generations to come.

Reflecting on Kwanzaa’s Seven Principles and My Work as a Grant Writer

Yesterday marked the beginning of Kwanzaa, a cultural holiday celebrated in the African American/Pan African community. For me, the holiday is a reminder of why I chose to become a grant writer and help community-based, grassroots organizations. I frequently turn to Kwanzaa’s seven principles for inspiration and guidance in my work.

The seven principles of Kwanzaa are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. These principles align well with the values and goals of many community-based organizations that seek to improve the quality of life for marginalized communities. As a grant writer, I strive to support these organizations by helping them secure funding to implement their programs and initiatives.

Unity is particularly important in this work, as it requires collaboration and partnership between organizations, funders, and the communities they serve. Self-determination is also crucial, as it empowers communities to identify and address their own needs rather than relying on outside sources to dictate their priorities.

Collective work and responsibility emphasize the importance of working together to achieve common goals, while cooperative economics encourages the development of sustainable and equitable economic systems. Purpose and creativity are essential for developing innovative approaches to social issues, and faith provides a foundation of hope and resilience in the face of challenges.

By incorporating these principles into my work as a grant writer, I hope to contribute to a more just and equitable society, one that aligns with the values and goals of Kwanzaa and other cultural traditions that prioritize community empowerment and social justice.

Join the Global Giving Tuesday Movement on November 28th

Giving Tuesday is a worldwide event that encourages people to unite and give back to their communities and those in need. Occurring on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, this special day is an opportunity to support charities and non-profit organizations by making donations, volunteering time, or raising awareness for their causes. It’s a chance to make a positive impact and assist those who are less fortunate. Mark your calendars for November 28th and participate in the Giving Tuesday movement!

While Wisdom Born Consulting is not a non-profit organization, I will be highlighting ones that are making a positive impact in their communities. These non-profits are dedicated to serving the needs of others and creating a better world. From providing education and healthcare to promoting social justice and environmental sustainability, these organizations are doing important work that deserves recognition and support. By donating time, money, or resources, we can all play a role in making a difference and helping these non-profits achieve their goals. Let’s work together to create a better future for all.
