 Last year South Carolina passed cutting edge legislation allowing mission-based companies to register as Benefit Corporations. This allows Money With A Mission to operate as a for-profit business but ensures that their mission-driven agenda is an integral part of their business plan and daily operations.

Greg Garvan, President of Money With A Mission, said “For over 20 years we’ve been helping progressive individuals align their values and their financial life. We’ve been involved with Benefit Corporations in many other states and are ecstatic that South Carolina is now allowing this as well.”

Brady Quirk-Garvan, business development associate for Money With A Mission, said “We’ve always believed that if you are intentional about who you vote for, where you donate money, where you buy your food, shouldn't you bring that same intentionality to your financial life? This new Benefit Corporation designation ensures that this will be our mission for decades to come”

While Money With A Mission is the first Benefit Corporation in South Carolina we certainly believe there will be many others to follow.

On the investment side, we do this by helping you manage investments using environmental and social screens, as well as financial risk and return analysis. On the financial planning side, we provide a comprehensive overview that outlines your risks and opportunities, as well as ways that you can integrate your values deeper into your financial life.

More about Benefit Corporations:

Benefit Corporations: 1) have a corporate purpose to create a material positive impact on society and the environment; 2) are required to consider the impact of their decisions not only on shareholders but also on workers, community, and the environment; and 3) are required to make available to the public an annual benefit report that assesses their overall social and environmental performance against a third party standard.
