Oregon-based Nimble Distro describes itself as “an efficient and profitable wholesale distribution company imbued with a dash of whimsy.” The wholesale cannabis distribution company, based in Milwaukie, Oregon, distributes some of the most popular cannabis brands in the state.
The company recently announced that it has made $110,000 in donations to the NuProject since September 2021. NuProject “works to build generational wealth via the legal cannabis industry for the communities most harmed by cannabis criminalization” according to its website.
“Intention is plenty; action that drives change is rare,” said Jeannette Ward, president and chief executive officer of NuProject, in a news release. “Nimble is an example all companies should follow. Their regular, unrestricted funds have become the lifeblood of our organization. In turn, we have enabled the growth of a more diverse cannabis industry across the U.S.”
Nimble Distro donates 50 cents for every sold pack of KITES to NuProject. KITES are “a 10-pack of pre-rolls sourced from producers who share the company’s values” according to Nimble Distro.
“We have built reparations into our cost of goods to help create generational wealth for communities disproportionately harmed by the War on Drugs,” said Joy Hudson, chief executive officer and co-founder of Nimble. “Our business and giving model allow us to make tangible and ongoing impacts on critical issues.”
NuProject has funded more than $3.7 million to historically excluded founders primarily via low-interest loans and grants. NuProject has also delivered more than 2,500 hours of entrepreneur coaching to a network of more than 200 founders.
