Each week, Superpowers for Good shares a list of new impact-related offerings added to FINRA-Registered crowdfunding portals and by broker-dealers. We’ll share four separate lists:
Impact offerings determined by our proprietary analysis.
Offerings with minority founders.
Deals with women founders.
Those with LGBTQ founders.
Sometimes, it takes weeks for our source to determine that a company has a social impact, a woman, minority or LGBTQ founder. When we discover an offering qualifies for our list, even if it is no longer new, we will include it. See the lists below.

Solar for Smith's Supermarket is raising funds on Climatize.

Producing 253,851 kWh of clean energy annually, the project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote energy independence. Supported by a grant from the US Department of Agriculture, this effort not only benefits the environment but also strengthens a vital local business. The funds raised will support Smith's Supermarket’s solar initiative, building a greener future for the community. (We use AI to help us write offerings summaries.)
