BEAM IMPACT x sportiqe
Solving Societal Issues, One Click and 1% at a Time
MYTH: Solving homelessness, helping children in third-world countries and doing right by our planet need large-scale initiatives to make a big difference.
In reality, change can happen through thousands of micro-changes that make a significant impact over time. Here at Sportiqe, we have always admired (and emulated) the “Get Better Everyday by 1%” philosophy. The principle is, if you improve something every day by just 1%, this seemingly small improvement will grow exponentially over time.
With this philosophy in mind, we are extremely proud of our collaboration with Beam Impact, which marries our 1% philosophy with our desire to leave a positive impact on our world. For every Sportiqe purchase, we will allow our customers to contribute 1% of their total to one of four high-impact nonprofits. The contribution doesn’t change your total purchase amount with Sportiqe. With just the simple click of a button to say where you think a 1% donation should go, you’ve made an impact.
Easy, right? We agree. The most difficult part will be deciding where to send your impact money. Allow us to introduce you to these four worthy nonprofits – and align them to causes that mean something to you – to make your decision easier:
