Education Funding Partners become B Corporation

Commit to social responsibility

Education Funding Partners (EFP) announced today that it has attained Certified B Corporation status after meeting rigorous standards of social and environmental performance.

"We are very proud to be a Certified B Corporation," said President and CEO Mickey Freeman. "We join an elite group of new companies which use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems."

EFP's focus is public education. They specialize in finding supplemental funding for public school districts through corporate sponsorships. "We build the bridge between districts who need help and corporations who want to help via marketing sponsorships," said Freeman.

EFP, with headquarters in Golden, CO, works with large school districts around the country to determine the value of district-wide corporate marketing sponsorships, then finds sponsors, typically Fortune 500 companies, interested in supporting public education. "It's a low risk, high reward opportunity for schools," Freeman said. "We are very sensitive to finding positive messages that fit in schools. For corporations, it's an opportunity to make a difference with their marketing and branding dollars."

According to a press release from bcorporation.net, "Certified B Corporations meet higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. It's like a LEED certification, but for a business, not just a building. It makes it easier to tell the difference between good companies and just good marketing,"
