Firespring Foundation | About the Foundation

A Brief Overview of the Firespring Foundation —

Firespring Foundation began in 2007 with a mission to empower nonprofits to leverage their mission to do more good.

Funding for Firespring Foundation comes from Firespring, a Nebraska-based company that cares more about its “why” than its “what.” Firespring knows its impact can be magnified through the clients they serve and in the communities they support.

Firespring sets high standards for their philanthropic endeavors and validates these efforts through impartial third-party audits. These high standards include Certified B Corporation status through B Lab, measuring social and environmental performance through the B Impact Assessment.

** Median score of Ordinary Businesses that have completed the B Impact Assessment (BIA).
*** Median scores of all Certified B Corporations that have received a minimum certified score of 80 on the BIA.
**** For Ordinary Businesses and Certified B Corps, Total B Impact Scores will not equal the sum of the sub-scores since each reflects a median score.
