Creating positive impact for the lives of our employees, clients, and communities through philanthropic efforts focused on DEIB, mental health, and STEM.

About the Foundation

The Businessolver Foundation was founded in 2016 as our philanthropic extension to create a mentally healthy, well-educated world where diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging matter.
Our foundation is guided by three pillars of giving: mental health, STEM and career education, and DEIB. Since its inception, the foundation has donated over $1 million and 7,000 volunteer hours to charitable causes and communities across the U.S.

Our Foundation’s three pillars of giving

Mental health

Everyone deserves access to quality mental healthcare, education, and support. The Foundation partners with local communities and organizations, like NAMI, Make It Ok, and Make-A-Wish, to break down mental health stigmas and advocate for acceptance of mental well-being and mental health issues.

STEM and Career Education

Today’s increasingly competitive world means many young people need help preparing for a career. The Businessolver Foundation has a special interest in supporting STEM education through innovative curricula designed to excite, inspire, and support young minds. The foundation works with partners like Junior Achievement, EVERFI-STEM Career Exploration Program, and American Heart Association STEM Programming to connect students with educational opportunities and career preparedness.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB)

The importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) cannot be understated. Our foundation embraces the idea that a successful and productive community is one where all people are unique and have a voice. The Foundation and our partners, like Mind Matters, Habitat for Humanity, and Big Brothers Big Sisters, promote and foster inclusive support programs designed to promote activities, behavior, and resources that help all people feel equal.

Girls on the Run Kentuckiana

“By supporting our programming, the Businessolver Foundation helps to ensure that every girl can gain confidence and physical fitness, as well as learn the critical life skills taught in the Girls on the Run curriculum, such as conflict resolution, anger management, and how to stand up for themselves and others. Additionally, through the generous donation of their time and energy, Businessolver employees help hundreds of girls each year to achieve their goal of successfully completing a 5K run.”

Girls on the Run
Minds Matter Colorado.

“At Minds Matter Colorado, we’re on a mission to prove that it’s access, not ability, that limits college choice for many qualified students. So we connect bright students from low-income households with the relationships and resources they need to expand their post-secondary educational horizons. As an organization 100% reliant on contributed revenue to provide our driven and determined students with the people, preparation and possibilities to achieve their dreams, grants we receive from partners like Businessolver make an important and immediate impact on the students we serve.”

Mind Matters
By Degrees.

“The Businessolver Foundation lives out our belief that education is a community effort. Their support helps us create and deliver impactful college and career readiness programing so that more students graduate from high school prepared for success. We are grateful for their partnership.”

Hand in Hand Ministries - Lend a Hand...Change a Life!

"The Businessolver Foundation has equipped our organization to continue doing the challenging and extremely important work of learning about cultural, economic and racial history by providing funding for books and speakers for our book club. It is our hope that greater understanding of our differences will lead to more just and equitable outcomes for everyone."

Hand in Hand Ministries
National Alliance on Mental Illness of Colorado.

"Corporate sponsorships should not be defined by amount of gift alone, but rather the level of partnership between company and nonprofit. The Businessolver Foundation stepped up and stepped in as a new partner for mental health in many ways. Offering ongoing input, recruiting teams for our Walk, and offering a platform to share with other nonprofits truly leveraged our mission and their sponsor dollars."

NAMI Colorado
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa.

"Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa’s partnership with Businessolver has been essential in helping build a more inclusive and equitable community for our youth. This partnership has allowed BBBSCI to launch the “I Am Enough” Program which helps young girls build self-esteem and confidence, and to host a DEI learning series which helps Bigs (mentors) become more informed and educated on the challenges the youth they are mentoring face each day."
