Approximately 1 billion trees worth of paper are thrown away every year. Cultivate's sustainability reduces that number by using 100% of recycled materials--from the cards we use to the envelopes they're carried in.

For Foster Care Awareness Month (May) Cultivate will donate 10% of proceeds to a local coffee shop based in North Philadelphia, Monkey and the Elephant. "Through a year-long transitional employment program, we support young adults who have histories in the foster care system. As a supportive space to learn and grow, we provide paid work experience with intentional training and coaching. Our goal is to help under resourced young adults acquire the confidence and skill they need as they embark on their employment journey. M&E builds a sense of community and belonging for these youth while supplementing short-term employment with longer-term personal and professional development. Every dollar spent in our coffee shop directly supports our program.

In addition to working shifts at the Café program, employees complete a comprehensive program focused on developing their self-efficacy, communication, teamwork/collaboration, professionalism and critical thinking and problem solving." -M&E

We design cards that resonate with the Latinx community in efforts to foster connection and celebration. Additionally, giving back to Philadelphia together helps us celebrate the power in community.
