MISSION <br />We exist to empower communities, first in Minnesota, then nationally and {globally to end the <br />cycle of human trafficking by starting and supporting social enterprises that raise awareness, <br />offer opportunities for economic independence for survivors, and fund the fight against human <br />trafficking. <br />a as aauaenuname00oaa 0a ta0 as a0 otl as ort n a 0 P puma 0 <br />THEORY OF CHANGE <br />We believe that a social impact cafe is key to ending human trafficking and exploitation. A social <br />impact cafe gives consumers a new way to support social justice issues, nonprofits a new way <br />to fundraise, survivors and those vulnerable new opportunities for income and job training, and a <br />space that creates endless opportunities for awareness. <br />in the past 8 years, we have seen the successful launch of many social-impact/give-back <br />businesses such as Warby Parker, TOMS, Honest Co., Thrive Causemetics, and Bombas, to <br />name a few. This shows us that if given a choice, consumers will choose to spend their money <br />with companies who are giving back with their profits. Consumers want tangible ways that they <br />can be a part of ending human trafficking and exploitation. At stories Foundation we can apply <br />the principles from these successful businesses to th•e implementation of storyteller Cafe. <br />Storyteller Catering's products and cafe are house -made, allergy -friendly food that also offers <br />people a feel -good, give -back opportunity.. Our menus are small and ingredients fresh, which <br />create a sustainable model. Unlike the traditional nonprofit structure, our commercial nonprofit <br />structure allows people to support the work we are doing by purchasing as well as donating. In <br />this way, customers are giving back to the community while also walking away with something <br />of value in return. <br />1 <br />S I I <br />
