Make A Promise Project
At the heart of our mission is a transformative alliance. Prolific Fund, Carbon Exchange, and the Make A Promise Project have come together under one vision: to turn the carbon economy into a force for humanity. Through the groundbreaking Prolific-Fund Standard and FLFCO (Full Life-cycle Financial Carbon Offset) Protocols, we align environmental innovation with social equity, driving real-world benefits across communities and continents.
As the compassionate cornerstone of this initiative, the Make A Promise Project ensures that the financial and ecological power of carbon credits reaches those who need it most. From nourishing wellness and educational access to supporting displaced families and empowering youth, we convert climate impact into life-changing opportunity.
The Make A Promise Project advances sustainable development, cultural respect, and ecological stewardship across the globe. We empower communities through co-created projects with Kompo Green Inc. and other changemakers. Our initiatives encompass SDG-aligned impact assessments and transparent reporting systems, along with transformative programs such as the Animal Reserve in Texas, the Pahoa Community Center in Hawaii, and EJ Farms outreach. By leveraging innovative tools like carbon credit monetization and blockchain-enabled community economies, we strive to create lasting solutions for health, housing, food security, and wildlife preservation.
