As a certified B Corporation, Raise is committed to using business as a force for good—and B Corp Day is a powerful moment to live that value in action. Throughout the month of May, our global teams came together to make tangible impacts in their communities, demonstrating what it means to work with purpose. From nature conservation to increasing food security and supporting youth, this year’s B Corp Day at Raise was filled with actions that reflect our stewardship commitment.
Spotlight on Regional Events
Houston, Texas
In Houston, Raise team members volunteered at Manna House Third Ward Food Pantry—supporting frontline food distribution efforts that serve individuals and families facing food insecurity.

Our Calgary team partnered with The Mustard Seed, a long-standing organization focused on housing, mental health, and emergency supports. Volunteers prepared and served meals for over 400 guests, gaining firsthand insight into the challenges surrounding poverty and homelessness in the region—and the importance of responsive, community-based care.

Virtual Participation with Zooniverse
For team members unable to join in person, Raise provided a virtual volunteering option through Zooniverse. Dozens of participants contributed to real-time research projects across environmental science, biology, and history—showing that meaningful impact doesn’t always require being on-site.
Why This Matters
At Raise, B Corp certification is more than a label. It reflects how we hire, how we lead, and how we show up for our communities. B Corp Day 2025 wasn’t about checking a box—it was about doing the work. And thanks to our global teams, that work made a real difference.
B Corp Day may just be a few days across our business, but the work reflects Raise’s year-round focus on people, community, and performance. As outlined in our stewardship page, we believe businesses have a responsibility to support their communities—not just through words, but through direct action.
Whether planting trees, serving meals, or cleaning shorelines, our teams exemplified the kind of leadership that B Corps are known for: practical, collaborative, and rooted in local impact.
