Mighty Epiphyte
Mighty Epiphyte Consulting LLC

Mighty Epiphyte Consulting became an Oregon Benefit Corporation in early 2018. 

Our purpose is helping businesses serve people and the planet as a force for good, leaving the world a better place.

Benefit Corporations for Good
Benefit Corporations for Good Certified

MIGHTY EPIPHYTE VALUE PROPOSITION

To fully support entrepreneurs and small businesses in strong business fundamentals, improving and measuring social, employee, community and climate impacts and guiding those companies to certifications for Benefit through Benefit Corporations for Good and B Corp through B Lab assessments.  

Do the work in a manner that is honest, transparent and measured.

Volunteer and donate in community.

Support local and high percentage of minority and/or social impact vendors, suppliers and organizations.  Dedicated to reaching to the margins first!  Business is activism in 2020 and beyond. 

Value – leave a lesser impact that is negative and a greater impact that is positive.  In 2021 do more for education, outreach and discussion through the platform Advocateur to discuss issues while Mighty Epiphyte Consulting supports businesses.

2020 Summary:

2020 is a year to remember for many reasons, each very personal to everyone.  Mighty Epiphyte Consulting is dedicated to helping founders grow with a focus on building and improving social and environmental impacts.  When a company is known for being values driven, this is how people reach each other and help make the world better through uplifting People, Planet and Profit with Purpose!  In my consulting I seek to learn details about the wants and business focus of the leadership team and employees, the stakeholders and customers.  As a member of the team, I am a guide, a connector, collaborator and catalyst to lead the company to forward thinking impacts while providing tools and templates for tracking, certifying and preparing benefit reports.  

2020 changed in person volunteering and events.  In addition to the year to year consistent education, volunteering and  philanthropy, 2018 through 2020 were years to focus on Anti-Racism Practice and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training and practice that will be ongoing throughout my lifetime.  Learning leads to action and activism and I am devoted to it. 

Goals for 2021

  • Anti-racism is an ongoing journey of learning, engaging, activism and making change.  This is a lifelong endeavor. 
  • Continue the volunteering, donations and community support
  • Increase outreach in community, including supporting  vendors and partners with Diversity Equity and Inclusion
  • Support Benefit Corporations for Good BCFG in gaining more certifications
  • Serve clients throughout the US.  Become B Corp certified

What does self care mean to you, to your business? It can be an investment
