About us
Procure Impact is a B2B marketplace that makes it easy for companies to achieve their social impact goals through their every-day purchases - and create job opportunities and economic mobility for our most vulnerable populations in the process. We have thousands of high-demand products in our marketplace – from apparel to bath and body to gourmet food to furniture and art. Each vendor on our platform employs individuals with barriers to work in the USA – individuals with disabilities, refugees, veterans, and individuals who have experienced poverty, mental health challenges, homelessness, trauma, incarceration, and addiction. We are currently working with a diverse range of corporations creating impactful onboarding gifts for new employees, custom gift boxes and corporate logoed items for events (tumblers to apparel), and sourcing products for retail stores, hotels, and office spaces. Each transaction on our platform tabulates the number of shift hours created through your purchase, making it easy to report on impact goals and measure progress over time.

Helping to bridge the gap between sobriety and long-term success means employing those determined to conquer their battles with addiction.

And we’d like to THANK YOU — UNSHATTERED, Seedy Nutty, Musee Bath, Wagon Coffee Roasters and many more — for the incredible work you’re doing on a daily basis to make a lasting impact on these individuals. 💗 #NationalRecoveryMonth #SocialEnterprise #ProcureImpact #Employment #SubstanceUseRecovery
