Why We Give Back
Built here. Committed here.
Healthcare Access
We believe everyone deserves quality healthcare, regardless of their financial situation. Our partnership helps make that a reality for people in our community.
Purpose Beyond Product
Building products that serve people is only part of our mission. We partner with organizations that serve people in turn, creating a cycle of community benefit.
Featured Partnership
Affordable Care Clinic
"Fighting to provide affordable health care to the community."
Affordable Care Clinic is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to removing financial barriers to healthcare access in Columbus and Central Ohio. Under the leadership of Diann Nelson-Houser, ARNP, CNP, the clinic provides quality care to people who might otherwise go without.
Every purchase of Rise Up Curl Gel directly supports this work. We donate a portion of all personal care proceeds to the clinic, because we believe that looking after your curls and looking after your community shouldn't be separate things.
How It Works
Your Purchase Makes a Difference
We donate a portion of all personal care product sales to Affordable Care Clinic. This means every tube of Rise Up Curl Gel contributes directly to healthcare accessibility in our community.
It's a simple model: create products that solve real problems for our customers, then use a portion of those sales to solve real problems for our community.
