Helping leaders turn values into systems, culture, and collective impact
Support for B Corps and purpose driven companies navigating the new standards, building workplaces of belonging, and engaging in collective action.
Welcome
Hi friend. I’m Benn. Welcome to The Rising Kind.
This is a space for B Corps, social enterprises, nonprofits, and community organizers who believe business and organizing can be forces for good. For people who are ready to move from values to measurable impact.
I’ve spent more than twenty years in impact and change making work. The Rising Kind is a culmination of that journey and it is still taking shape. We are building this together, with an official launch coming in spring 2026. What you see here now is the early foundation of something designed to grow with the people who gather here.
This is a place to sharpen skills, to share what works, and to build systems that last. It is rooted in connection, collective learning, and care.
We are not here to perform impact. We are here to practice it.
To build organizations that serve.
To support one another when the work feels heavy.
To rise again when systems push back.
If you are building something that serves more than yourself, you belong here.
Thank you for the work you do, or the work you are still gathering the courage to begin. The ripple effect of your effort will travel farther than you can see.
This is just the beginning. I would love to hear what brought you here and what you hope to build. Let’s shape what comes next together.
Rise Together
Based in Maine where we know that a rising tide lifts all boats. We believe that we can create a more equitable, just, and sustainable future when collectively we come together around shared values and goals. And the more people we can recruit into this changemaker space and retain in the work, the more power we can collectively wield for social and environmental justice. This means the work itself also has to be sustainable.
That’s our goal, to create a space that is both helpful to you in your work, connects you to others who share in your values, and support you in taking care of yourself so you can continue to do this work for a lifetime.
Let’s build this together. Please click below to take our quick survey.
