Green Thumb Industries Inc. (GTI) (CSE: GTII) (OTCQX: GTBIF), a leading national cannabis consumer packaged goods company and owner of Rise Dispensaries, today announced the first group of nonprofit organizations to receive funding as part of its Good Green Grant Program. Good Green is the company’s newest flower brand delivering a high-quality, affordable product that gives back to communities disproportionately affected by the War on Drugs.
Each organization selected fits one of Good Green’s core pillars: education, employment and expungement. The three recipients received unrestricted grants of $75,000 that will be used to advance each organization’s mission. The initial beneficiaries are:
Good Green is dedicated to bringing responsible consumers and change-making organizations together to create real, sustained progress against the War on Drugs. The brand’s current product offerings, including indica, sativa and hybrid popcorn flower, are available in Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
“Our team is proud to partner with these three exceptional nonprofits to create meaningful change in communities devastated by cannabis prohibition,” said Green Thumb Founder and Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler. “Through Good Green, we will continue to invest in organizations that are making a measurable impact to address the social and economic disparities created by unjust drug laws.”
Green Thumb opened the first round of Good Green grant applications in July and proactively committed at least $1.3 million in funding over the next year and a half ahead of product sales. The program’s second round of applications is open to local 501(c)3 organizations through January 12, 2022.
