Giving back
The nonprofits our charitable programs support
Every charitable BEST program ends with something real going to someone who needs it: bikes, wheelchairs, backpacks, guitars, care packs. These are the partners who receive them, and how it works.

How it works
A CSR department and a warehouse, so the giving actually lands
We match the program to a nonprofit
Our CSR team works with the charity before the event: what they need, how many, where it goes.
The materials ship from our warehouse
Bike frames, wheelchair kits, backpack supplies and care-pack contents leave our own inventory, so a donation event lands on time anywhere in the country.
Your team builds it
A lead facilitator runs the program and the group assembles, packs or builds the donation, usually with a game layered on top.
The recipients are often in the room
When the nonprofit can bring them, the kids, veterans or families receive the donation at the end of the event. Clients tell us it is the moment their teams remember.
