Change Maker Fund: 13th and Bloom Give Back đŸ«¶đŸŸ



13th and Bloom believes in building up our communities - "we've got us" - as some close friends and family will say it! Because of this, 13th and Bloom has committed to pouring 10% of all proceeds back into the youth in our communities.

We are passionate about doing the right thing and making a change in this world and believe that it all starts with one - one person to do the right thing that will have an impact on another, and another, and “another one” 😉.  And we wanna be there to help positively influence the change we all need.

So we’re happy to announce the Feed Your Soul Change Maker Fund - a scholarship fund created to fuel the fire and feed the souls of our young change makers.

Bi-annually (twice per year), 13th and Bloom will award 2 students with a grant/scholarship to help remove obstacles and set them up for success on their journey to change.  This will be a monetary award + selected technology based on the proceeds 13th and Bloom at the time of award.

The first grant will be awarded to a student in February 2023 and the second will be awarded in August 2023.
