Data Gives Back (DGB) is a self-described social enterprise that offers corporate training and analytical consulting in support of grieving children and families.
B Corps, or benefit corporations, are for-profit businesses prioritizing social and environmental objectives at the same level as financial and shareholder goals.
“We believe wholeheartedly that this is the way we should all do business: without profit being the main goal,” says DGB’s founder Joe Lyons-Rising.
25% of DGB’s revenue is donated to the Seasons Centre for Grieving Children, which offers free programs for those facing the death of a parent, sibling or close friend.
“The success of our company is first measured in how we can help children, teens and families find hope and happiness through the extremely painful experiences of grief,” Lyons-Rising explained in a recent DGB press release.
“As you become a more confident leader through our training and consulting, you also support an important charitable cause,” he added.
Joe is a mental health advocate, a suicide loss survivor, and author, and he currently serves as a Volunteer Executive Grief Ambassador for the Seasons Centre.
“DGB would not exist without the dream of helping to support Seasons Centre for Grieving Children on a regular basis,” the press release noted.
“I am so grateful to my clients. Thanks to them, we have helped over 50 children since our start in 2020,” Lyons-Rising says proudly.
