Going Green, Faster: How Online Platforms Can Accelerate Renewable Energy

TOMS and AT&T Help Consumers Take a “Walk in Their Shoes”

TOMS has given more than 60 million shoes to children in need, but as a consumer buying a pair of TOMS shoes, it can be hard to feel the real impact of each purchase.

Africa Has a New Health Challenge, and We Need a Plan to Fight It

While the headlines might focus on Ebola or yellow fever, Africa is slowly winning the fight against infectious diseases.

When was the last time you sent someone a letter in the mail? Has it been a while? By contrast, when did you send your last email just by pushing a button? Technology and its ability to automate routine tasks is not only changing our lives, but also transforming the way we support meaningful causes.

The global movement toward electronic payments is far more than just a “flavor of the day.” According to the latest survey done by the AFP (Association of Finance Professionals), 80% of North American companies are transitioning their B2B payments from paper checks to electronic payments, and several large countries have already ceased using checks completely.
