Announcing Visible Impacts: A new social impact platform to power connections to basic needs
Visible Impacts is Visible’s new social impact platform focused on powering connections to three things: food security, career opportunities, and community – the basic needs vital to achieving one’s full potential. Visible members will be able to vote on which of the three Visible Impacts pillars they’d like to see Visible contribute to, and a portion of our impact funds each year will then be allocated according to Visible members’ choices.
To drive the Visible Impacts mission forward, Visible will provide financial and in-kind assistance to leading nonprofit partners working within the three areas of focus:
1) Connected Food Systems
Reliable access to healthy food is one of humanity’s most critical needs. Visible is partnering with Goodr, a nonprofit using technology and logistics to reduce food waste and end hunger, and U.S. Hunger, an organization committed to providing healthy meals to those in need and solving the root causes of food insecurity.
2) Connected Careers
With more people searching for and submitting job applications on their phones, Visible Impacts is committed to connecting people to new opportunities. In addition to the new Connection Protection program, curated in partnership with Empower Work, Visible is partnering with StepUp and Empower Work to support digital career exploration workshops and virtual coaching opportunities.
3) Connected Communities
Continuing its commitment to uplifting people within the LGBTQ+ community, Visible is supporting the PFLAG Connects Communities program, leveraging existing mobile technologies to strengthen LGBTQ+ community building. Additionally, Visible will champion accessibility, equity, and inclusion for communities with disabilities through a partnership with Be My Eyes, a mobile app that has improved accessibility for over six million blind and low-vision individuals.
