As we continue to share more about our upcoming Breaking Bias Summit, we’re endlessly grateful to also be introducing, spotlighting, and thanking the sponsoring organizations that made it happen. Without sponsors, we could not bring together a community of practitioners, activists, and scholars focused on the intersection of mindfulness and antiracism work.
How BE MORE views partnerships
To understand a little more about how BE MORE views partnerships in the first place, let’s first dig in a bit to the history of BE MORE. Did you know that BE MORE with Anu is a certified Benefit Corporation? It’s true! In short, this means that we believe organizations and businesses have the power to build communities, propel social change, and, ultimately, impact the world. We also believe that by partnering with other like-minded organizations, like our sponsors, we can accomplish much more together than we could by ourselves. It’s an honor to share space with these organizations. We hope that as you learn more about them, you’re inspired, in turn, by the diversity and variety of ways to make an impact!
What is a Community Sponsor?

Our Community Sponsors are a diverse group of organizations that have supported BE MORE's work, and who desire to use their resources for good. We are so, so grateful to them for their vision!
