My Nonprofit Reviews

I volunteer my time with Material Innovation Initiative because of the people and the mission.

Nicole, Stephanie, and the folks here are truly passionate about revolutionizing the materials industry (fashion, home goods, automotive) by replacing animal-based materials. Hand in glove with that is MII's aim to shrink the environmental footprint of synthetic fibers. The upshot is a more humane, sustainable, and thriving industry that produces better, more innovative products for consumers. Who wouldn’t be thrilled to be a part of that?!

My personal interest in volunteering with MII is first and foremost in support of animal welfare. But it’s also been hugely rewarding see the sheer creativity and innovation of the companies that MII is tapping into. It gives me great hope for the future, especially one rocked by Covid-19 and a year of tragic natural disasters.
