💗 impact fund

our impact fund is designed to support & collaboratively work with our 5 core community partners.

not only does 1% of gross merchandising value that flows through somos go into our fund, but our community partners are also shareholders in our business.

🤝 what benefits do our core community partners get?

equity ownership + dividends

• our core community partners are allocated 500 shares each with the same financial and voting rights as the founder and investors have.
• this entitles them to dividends and a pay out in the event somos  is sold.
• our ownership model

1% of gross merchandising value
