Teach For India (registered name: Teach to Lead) - Non-Profit - www.teachforindia.org/
Non-profits with the most impact understand how to deliver grassroots impact and bring that to bear on a systemic level.

Increasing knowledge of these issues among individual and institutional consumers will give a much-needed boost to the demand for fair food: food produced under just labor conditions. By employing a multimedia approach targeting young organizers we have assured that social justice and farmworker issues are integrated into the sustainable agriculture discourse, rather than being left off the table,…

PEPY Ride - Non-Profit - www.pepyride.org

We previously had invested in "things" but we now invest in "people" & we'd love support from Free Range to make…
