Introduction 

• Born Passion is conquering the world's biggest problems by serving, creating awareness and funding the world's greatest causes. We do this by fostering collaboration with what we call the 3 C's (also the 3 trees in our logo) - Community, Causes (nonprofits) and Champions (corporations).  After entering the corporate world, we realized there was no current network connecting these 3 C's in order to orchestrate a movement to do more, together. That's where Born Passion was born (pun intended).

Insights:

• Born Passion is the originator of the 1-3-1™ giving model, we partner with 1 cause at a time for 3 months and connect the community and corporations to Born Passion volunteer events. Towards the end, we hold 1 grand finale concert and give 100% of the proceeds to the campaigning cause. This helps causes solve their 2 biggest challenges: creating awareness to find volunteers and funding to grow their mission.

For Champions: We help you gain more exposure for your brand while being socially responsible in the community. This empowers your employees to give back and develop a culture of generosity. By leveraging our consistent community engagement strategy you're able to attract and retain top talent in our community and your workplace.   

For The Community: We connect those interested in volunteering to a variety of different causes each year where they can volunteer and support the most credible causes.  

 What We Need & What You Get

Born Passion has the opportunity to change millions of lives through out the world, but we can't do this without capital to throw the kind of events that will engage our audience and allow us to fully deploy our marketing strategy. This will drive thousands of people to participate in our volunteer and concert events in order to impact lives like never before.

Digital Media Strategy

• Google, Facebook, Instagram - to help spread the word about our nonprofits

 The Impact 

Have you ever wanted to make a difference in this world, but didn't know where to start? We created Born Passion to act as an avenue where people can come together to join a movement, get involved, and most importantly, to serve others. It's time to make a move and be a part of something bigger than yourself and empower those around you! 

By contributing to Born Passion you are helping us build a network where you can feel a sense of belonging and purpose and where nonprofits all over can experience growth like no other. 

We have done so much in the last year and a half! The Food Group was our first big volunteer event where we brought volunteers to pack food to be distributed throughout the Twin Cities.

From there we went to our local Salvation Army to serve food to the homeless. This is where we started to notice a transformation within ourselves. We realized we could give back so much more if we just took the time to do so. Once that transformation took hold, there was no stopping us. 

Our next stop was at the Cookie Cart. We worked side by side with teens, within the Twin Cities, to make and decorate cookies, which was an amazing opportunity. These individuals were smart "cookies" who were taking the initiative to develop the skills needed to become future leaders. 

Next we moved to the Ronald McDonald House where we made dinner for over 80 people in one evening. We had the opportunity to sit down and talk to many of the families who were there and hear their stories. There were whole families that moved into the Ronald McDonald house so that they could care for their loved ones. What a fantastic organization that provides these living quarters at no cost.

Next, we took on a big event with Loaves & Fishes. We provided all the volunteers for their harvest fundraising event that took place last September at their farm in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. After the event, Loaves & Fishes sent us an amazing letter: 

"The harvest dust has settled and we believe our event was quite a success! The environment was lovely, the food was five star and most importantly, we made many new friends and supporter’s— all while hitting our fundraising goal. Much of this success was due to the generous contribution of everyone's time and hard work at our our inaugural "Our Harvest Table". We couldn't have done it without you Born Passion!"

Next we put on a dynamic fundraising event for Avenues for Homeless Youth where we not only raised additional funds, but also enjoy live music and great company! We were blessed by the Freehouse for sponsoring the event and providing us with awesome space, food and drink!     

This is just the start of an impactful movement, beginning here in the Twin Cities. We are very excited to see what the future holds for Born Passion and can't wait to see you at our next event!

 Risks & Challenges

We've proven we can be successful collaborators, but we need our Community, Causes and Champions to drive this movement to new heights. 

Champions: This is Born Passion's main source of revenue and we rely on the financial support of Champions who want to invest within the future of their company and employees.  

Causes: Having a steady flow of nonprofits coming in is crucial to Born Passion's on going 1-3-1™ model.   

The Community: And we couldn't do all this without the support of our community! Join the movement today and we'll see you at our next event!
