Generational Impact Solutions Social Justice Initiatives
“All of GIS’s social justice initiatives will be facilitated through partnerships with organizations that are already leaders in the social justice fields most important to our mission.”
Palestinian Children’s Mental Health Initiative (PCMHI)
My name is Alexa Young
Twenty-five percent of the profits from our GIS subsidiary, The SCORE Store, a social impact LLC, will go to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. The Palestinian children in Gaza have witnessed more death and destruction than most trained soldiers see in their lifetimes. It will take decades for them to heal from the traumas of war, and some of them may never heal. We believe that the world owes these children a debt. As a global community, we must collectively prioritize these children’s mental health and pray that one day they find peace and be able to dream again. If we don’t prioritize their mental health today, the world will be less safe tomorrow. We are answering this humanitarian call to action but we cannot effectuate population-level impact without the help of the global community.
Transformative Education Initiative
Fifteen percent of the profits from our GIS subsidiary, The SCORE Store, a social impact LLC, will go towards a scholarship fund to send African American high school graduates to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and another 10% of our profits from The SCORE Store will go towards a scholarship fund to send African American high school graduates to trade schools. We believe that education is one of the primary components that is necessary to decrease the generational wealth disparity gap that exists between Black and White Americans. The majority of the profits earmarked for HBCU scholarships will go to the United Negro College Fund, an organization with a track record and commitment to raising funds to ensure that Black high school graduates experience Black higher education excellence.
Consumer Awareness Initiative
Generational Impact Solutions’ Consumer Awareness Initiative helps promote consumer brand awareness in the African American community and other communities of color. The greatest trade deficit in America exists between White Corporate America and the African American community. The African American community has spent trillions of dollars on the consumer items of companies that don’t reinvest in its communities. This initiative’s intent is to weaponize the buying power of people of color by only purchasing products whose profits help Support Causes of Racial Equality (SCORE). The funds raised as a result of the Consumer Awareness Initiative will be used to provide downpayment assistance to first-time homebuyers, which is a non-negotiable component of wealth building that will ultimately help decrease the generational wealth disparity gap that exists between Black and White Americans.
We’ve all been in a grocery store looking for a certain item—not knowing which brand to choose, so we just choose a random brand. Wouldn’t it be great to know exactly what items to buy without experiencing the sensory overload that accompanies too many choices? Wouldn’t it be great to know that the item you buy will help some person of color become a first-time homebuyer? Everyone will be able to do just that in the not so distant future. If communities of color can weaponize their buying power, it can stop lobbying for legislation from politicians Who never want to contribute to, nor be a witness to, the uplift of future generations of Black people in America. The GIS Consumer Awareness Initiative is what we would consider a real generational impact solution.
