Non Profit

 

[YOU ARE] The Initiative.

As a brand who is passionate about empowerment, entrepreneurship and mental health; we are in the beginning stages of creating a non-profit organization focused on providing life-building resources for underserved individuals. It's a cause that is close to our heart because we believe confidence in one’s own ability is the foundation of everything — including success, stability, and mental wellness.

By creating a non-profit that focuses on access and opportunity, in the areas of entrepreneurship, personal development, and mental health support; we believe we can make a positive difference in the lives of others.

From business workshops and mentorship to mental health resources and community support, [YOU ARE] The Initiative, will be about helping create stability — from the inside out.

We’re currently laying the foundation for this work and building meaningful partnerships to ensure long-term impact. If you’re interested in supporting, collaborating, or getting involved, please email: contact@shopthesanxuary.com
