ABOUT

MISSION
EcoMom® Alliance is a non-profit 501-c-3 organization nurturing, connecting, and empowering mothers to create a healthy and sustainable world. Our programs reach over a million families annually, informing and inspiring healthier living in communities like yours.

Mothers represent a tremendous power as both role models and a market force, representing up to 85% of dollars spent in the United States alone. By positively sharing information and resources, we encourage mothers to make healthier choices in their homes and communities, the effects of which, ripple out and protect our children and environment for generations to come.
 
VISION
Moms are like Queen Bees: They are the givers of life, the nurturing force for sustainable growth, and each one knows her hive best. Ecomom Alliance is thus a global network of mothers, "Community Leaders", working together to promote healthy and sustainable living.

Our programs, including Green Halloween, have garnered over $8 million in estimated media exposure between 2006 and 2012. We have over 30,000 followers, fans and subscribers in our social media network and we reach 1 million+ families each year. 



HOW WE DO IT

• We guide and empower women to create local events and campaigns that add up to global impact.
• We educate women to leverage their purchasing power to support products and brands that meet our 72 point testing criteria, EcoMom Approved®.
• We spearhead national campaigns such as the EcoMom Challenge, and support collaborative efforts such as Just Label It.
• We anchor everything with positive and supportive messaging.

We believe that healthy and sustainable living happens one step at a time and thus encourage moms of all beliefs and persuasions to join forces and support one another every step of the way toward holistic, balanced, joyful lifestyles.

OUR ROOTS
In the fall of 2006 Kimberly Danek Pinkson, a newly single mom, was scared, overwhelmed, and praying for guidance about how to take care of her son and do some good in the world at the same time. After co-producing an event for the United Nations World Environment Day, a series of conversations with her mom-friends birthed the term “ecomom” and led to a vision for a hybrid business model that would bring together the best practices of the non-profit and for-profit sectors: ecomom.com, which would grow from a consulting platform to an e-commerce site with CoFounder Jenny Orser, and then Jody Sherman and Balaji Gopinath, and ecomomalliance.org, a non-profit 501.c.3 organization focused on educational outreach and environmental health campaigns.

ecomom.com and ecomomalliance.org offer two different avenues to provide mothers with simple ways to make healthier choices, with a shared vision for a thriving, just and sustainable world.
