Dear Friends and Supporters,
As the world came together once again to celebrate Giving Tuesday—a global movement that amplifies the power of generosity—Business for Better Society (BBS) has countless reasons to express gratitude. This year, our campaigns through GlobalGiving not only set new fundraising records but also highlighted the incredible impact of collective action.
The Power of Community
At the core of BBS is our unwavering commitment to building a better society through business-driven initiatives that create lasting change. This year, our global community rallied with remarkable enthusiasm and generosity to support a range of transformative projects. From sustainable development efforts to educational programs, your contributions have helped change lives across continents.
Celebrating Success Stories
One standout story from this year is our campaign to support women entrepreneurs in rural Africa. Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to provide microloans and business training to empower women to start and grow their businesses. This initiative has exceeded all expectations, with hundreds of women now on the path to financial independence, creating ripple effects of change in their communities.
Equally inspiring is the progress of our Threads of Transformation program in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. With your generosity, we’re thrilled to enter the second phase of this initiative. This phase equips youth affected by conflict with world-class tailoring skills under the guidance of a London-based designer. These young apprentices are not just learning a trade—they are redefining creativity and design while building brighter futures.
A Record-Breaking Year
This year’s Giving Tuesday was our most successful campaign to date, thanks to your extraordinary support. The generosity of our donors has been truly inspiring, enabling us to scale our efforts and touch even more lives.
With Gratitude
On behalf of the entire BBS team, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you who contributed to these campaigns. Your belief in our mission and your willingness to share your resources make our work possible. Together, we are driving positive change and transforming communities.
As we look ahead, your continued support will remain the foundation of our efforts. Thank you for standing with us and being an integral part of this incredible journey.
With deep appreciation,
Kelly Brantner
CEO, Business for Better Society
