Each week, Superpowers for Good shares a list of new impact-related offerings added to FINRA-Registered Crowdfunding portals and by broker-dealers. We’ll share four separate lists:
Impact offerings determined by our proprietary analysis.
Offerings with minority founders.
Deals with women founders.
Those with LGBTQ founders.
Sometimes, it takes weeks for our source to determine that a company has a social impact, a woman, minority or LGBTQ founder. When we discover an offering qualifies for our list, even if it is no longer new, we will include it. See the lists below.

Yesterday, I was scheduled for surgery to donate a kidney to an acquaintance, John, who attends my church. It didn’t happen.
The process began 16 months ago when the Bishop (think lay pastor) of our ward (congregation) of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often called the Mormons) asked us to fast and pray for John to receive a miracle.
At the time, I scoffed a bit at the notion of a miracle, thinking he just needed a donor. I began the process, inspired by my cousin, Eric Thorpe, who had just two months earlier donated his kidney to whoever needed it. (Eric says he was inspired to do it because a college chum had needed a kidney five years earlier when Eric had Cancer and couldn’t donate, so as soon as he was clear to donate, he did—paying it forward.)
The transplant coordinator explained to me shortly after my pre-op appointment that the center had never rejected a donor at this late stage before, but the surgeon spotted a concern on my CT scan that everyone else had missed up to that point.
I was heartbroken, but I want you to think about John. Really. Think about John.
He’s been on dialysis now for three years. It has a Health-preserving effectiveness that averages about four years. John’s health hasn’t been great. For much of the time I was being screened, the coordinator reported that he wasn’t currently eligible to receive a kidney—he wasn’t healthy enough (and that bar is pretty low, unlike for donors).
