Great giving Social sciences alumnus encourages random acts of generosity through his company, Generosity Gang "I wanted to do something that allowed people to experience the feeling of giving," he explains. "Our brand has always been, not so much focused on a specific cause, but focused on how to inspire the person consuming our product to make generosity a part of their lifestyle." The one-man show behind the newly rebranded company - they used to be called P1124 - hopes to help people appreciate the resources they have access to while encouraging them to live generously in every aspect of their lives. Their unique model allows customers to choose a product based on a cause that is meaningful to them and offers wearable reminders to practice giving in everyday life. The company's current initiatives - Choose Hunger, Choose Water, and the Sweatshirt Off Your Back campaign - each boast a unique cause and products to appeal to different people and types of giving. |
