INVESTING IN IMPACT
The Good Candidates is a non-profit organization centered on creating measurable impact by investing in quality improvement projects, initiatives and agendas that deliver positive change and advancements for our society and environment while generating a sustainable value proposition and return on investment for our people, communities and planet.
THE PROBLEM
The Source
Communities worldwide, particularly in regions like the Caribbean and Africa, face significant challenges that hinder sustainable development and overall well-being. These challenges include pervasive poverty, limited access to quality education and healthcare, environmental degradation and a lack of economic opportunities. The socio-economic disparities are further exacerbated by inefficient use of resources, insufficient civic engagement and the absence of comprehensive strategies that address these issues holistically. The traditional non-profit and governmental approaches often fall short due to bureaucratic inefficiencies and limited scalability, leaving many communities without the support needed to thrive.

Our robust metric system tracks and optimizes every aspect of our initiatives, ensuring accountability and continuous improvement. Through innovative financing models such as impact investing and self-sustaining revenue-driven projects, we secure financial sustainability and reinvest profits into our communities.
