CHOW’s mission is to support wellness within the food/beverage/hospitality industry and to improve the lives of our community.

Anyone who’s dined in a restaurant has experienced hospitality. From servers and bartenders to dishwashers and chefs, each person working in a restaurant gives their all to make guests feel welcome, cared for and nourished.

Our mission is to return the favor. To care for the people who take such good care of us. To provide a place for restaurant staff to feel supported, heard and appreciated. To facilitate gatherings where we can build meaningful connections with folks who “get it.” To lift each other up so we don’t lose anyone else to suicide, addiction or struggles surrounding mental health.

CHOW was created by individuals in the food and beverage industry to bridge the gap between personal and clinical care. Everyone in the food/beverage/hospitality industry needs community and wellness resources. For those in recovery, CHOW recognizes that long term recovery needs connection and CHOW provides opportunities for that connection.

We do this by:

- Providing mental health support for food/beverage/hospitality teams through our community-building discussion groups
- Collaborating with owners and operators to provide information and guidance on best practices for resilient workplaces
- Connecting people in crisis with comprehensive supportive services.

The Eckhart Tolle Foundation brings Eckhart's teachings to communities and populations that have had little or no access to them.

Formed in 2016, the Eckhart Tolle Foundation focuses primarily on awakening human consciousness, as well as alleviating – and ultimately ending – the suffering created by the dysfunction of the egoic human mind.

We accomplish this through making Eckhart Tolle’s teachings available to communities in need, and by funding and collaborating with like-minded organizations, especially those who work with youth and students, incarcerated people, hospice patients and the elderly, animals, and other vulnerable beings.

The Eckhart Tolle Foundation donates books and online courses to non-profits serving our target communities, as well as to those with financial need.

STAR Institute is the international leader for research, treatment, and education related to sensory integration and processing. 

We are all familiar with the sensory aspects of day-to-day life. Our brains and bodies are processing sensory information all the time and as this sensory information moves through our nervous system it shapes how we feel and respond throughout the day. Every body has to process sensation in order to stay alive, function and make meaning of the world. How our brain interprets sensory information impacts our physical health, mental health, and general wellness. Sensory processing can influence every area of life including our preferences in diet, exercise, relationships, career, and our hobbies.

STAR Institute is the international leader for research, treatment, and education related to sensory integration and processing. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, we are dedicated to improving mainstream awareness of sensory health and to providing life-changing support and resources for individuals and families across the lifespan. STAR Institute supports all areas of sensory health including mental health, school success, child development, parenting, relationships, and vocational success. For some, disordered sensory processing profoundly impacts daily functioning. However, many differences in sensory processing do not need to be disabling. We believe everyone should have access to high-quality support, resources, and treatment for sensory health.


INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT
All treatment programs are different. We pioneer and provide best practice intervention through the lifespan with customized therapy plans focused on individual strengths and needs. 

CUTTING-EDGE EDUCATION
We are dedicated to increasing global accessibility to current information on sensory processing through innovative online and live programming for clinical professionals and families.

LEADING RESEARCH
STAR Institute conducts and collaborates in rigorous research into the identification, characterization, and treatment of sensory integration and processing strengths and needs.

SBS works to end global poverty by empowering women to become thriving entrepreneurs, lifting their families to a vibrant future.

Street Business School (SBS) trains women to launch micro-businesses, gain confidence and leave poverty behind. Through a social franchise model, we train other nonprofits to add SBS to their toolkits and deliver global entrepreneurship training to the people they serve. By 2030, SBS will have trained partners to empower 1 million women to lift their families from poverty.

SBS works with women living in deep poverty in 25 countries around the globe. These “coaches” often experience numerous and interconnected barriers to improving their financial situation, including: a lack of formal education; limited access to formal sector employment opportunities; lack of access to sanitation, hygiene, and health services; malnutrition; illness; and endemic cultural gender inequality.

SBS’s model is proven to equip women to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. Results from a randomized control trial by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley over the period from August 2018 to December 2021 demonstrated robust results on earnings and business ownership for women trained by SBS in five communities in Uganda:

•	SBS graduates’ profits one year after graduation were 119% higher than those in the control group.
•	SBS graduates increased earnings from an average of $2.47/day at baseline, to $4.82/day one year after graduating.
•	At baseline, only 52% of women who enrolled in SBS owned a business. This increased to 73% at graduation and remained at that level a year after graduation.

SBS has scaled through a social franchise model, in which we certify other NGOs to customize and implement SBS programming in their communities, reaching women across the globe in their local language through trusted community partners. As of January 2022, SBS is being delivered to women in 25 countries in partnership with 155 NGO Partners, who collectively address 16 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. The SBS network has collectively trained over 18,000 women, lifting over 100,000 people out of poverty.

Join us in our goal of lifting 1 million women and their families from poverty!

We activate and expand informed giving to Native-led nonprofits in Indian Country through donor education and advocacy.

Our mission is to activate and expand informed giving to Native-led nonprofits in Indian Country through donor education and advocacy. We envision a thriving Native-led nonprofit sector, championing a diverse community rooted in Indigenous values and ways of being.

NWF’s focus on donor education and advocacy, combined with helping donors understand the ethical environment around giving in Indian Country, fills a gap that has historically resulted in bringing more harm than good to Native people and communities as well as to the nonprofits who serve them. While well intentioned, all too often, uninformed donors invest in organizations that do not act in the best interest of Native people, or shy away from investing at all due to broad public misconceptions and misinformation about Native people and communities.

Below are a few key ways you can join us in changing the tide of giving in support of Native-led nonprofits. Your donations help us grow this critical work!

- Support a Native-led nonprofit on our Giving Days: [Native Nonprofit Day in May](https://www.nativeways.org/native-nonprofit-day/) and [#GiveNative on Giving Tuesday](https://www.nativeways.org/givenative/)
- Read our Report [On Our Terms: Supporting a Thriving Native Nonprofit Sector](https://www.nativeways.org/onourtermsreport/)
- Find a Native-led nonprofit to Support on the [Native Nonprofit List](https://www.nativeways.org/nativenonprofitlist/)
