Rooted in purpose: Bloom’s approach to giving

May 6, 2025

When giving becomes personal, it transforms lives. At Bloom, our mission to grow globally is rooted in how we give locally.

This year, we are proud to sponsor two incredible nonprofits, Dogs, Inc. and DarkSky International, whose missions are deeply inspiring and impactful. Keep reading to learn more about the impacts being made.

INDEX

Bringing hope through guide dogs

Dogs, Inc. is an organization that truly embodies transformation through compassion. They provide expertly trained guide, service, and companion dogs to those who need them most—at no cost to the recipients.

Whether it’s offering independence to someone with vision loss, healing a veteran’s invisible wounds, or bringing comfort to grieving families, these extraordinary dogs become more than just pets—they are lifelines.

From the playful days at Puppy Academy to rigorous training at Canine University, each dog embarks on a journey to become someone’s hope, freedom, and loyal friend​.

Read about how our partnership with Dogs, Inc. helped make Deedle’s journey with Zach possible.

Meet Zach, a U.S. Navy Veteran, and his service dog, Deedle

Artboard 9-100

Zach Brown’s Navy career took him from Virginia to a ship delivering care to thousands across Central and South America. Yet even as his team brought healing to others, unseen struggles began to take root—ones that followed him home. Crowded places felt hostile, and anxiety crushed even the simplest joys.

I was like a skeleton,” Zach says, recalling the nearly 50 pounds he lost to depression, stress, and a painful family situation. Once a vibrant adventurer, Zach became a ghost of himself, a man unraveling. But with service dog Deedle, Zach begins again. Deedle’s faithful presence lays a foundation of trust. She bolsters his courage, coaxing him back to places he once loved, like festivals and theme parks. She builds his peace, pressing close when anxiety creeps in. And she creates joy, reminding him that life can still be good.
 
As Zach heals, the ripple effect spreads. His daughters see more of the smiling father he strives to be. Even the family’s other dog, Lilly, finds a friend in Deedle, their bond adding warmth to the home. Moment by moment, Deedle constructs a life—and a future—Zach can believe in. “Each day I’m with her, I feel better,” Zach says.

Party with a purpose: Havana Nights

Our team had the honor of attending Dogs, Inc.’s annual silent auction event held in Tampa, FL. The funds raised from this event help support this non-profit.

The evening was filled with precious service dogs in the room, but better than that, the heartfelt testimonies of those impacted by them. It was a first-hand experience for those in attendance to see just how important this program is.

Protecting our night skies

DarkSky International, on the other hand, champions a different kind of light—one that protects the natural wonder of our night skies. By advocating against light pollution, DarkSky helps restore ecosystems, improve human health, and preserve the awe-inspiring beauty of our stars.

Their efforts ensure that future generations will be able to look up and witness the same brilliant constellations that have inspired wonder for millennia. Preserving night skies is more important than ever before.

By sponsoring this nonprofit organization, we help spread awareness on ways to make a difference, like assessing your home’s outdoor lighting. This also supports protecting more dark sky places around the globe.

A real, illuminating experience

One of our team members, Cassandra, vacationed in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and remarked, “I’ve never been able to really see the stars at the beach the way that I do here.” She was thrilled to learn that Cape Lookout National Seashore is a Dark Sky Place.

More importantly, that Bloom Growth is part of making experiences like that possible for her and future generations to come.

Doing good is in our DNA

Philanthropy is part of our DNA at Bloom Growth. Our team members exhibit our core values in every aspect of work, particularly when it comes to helping others and making the impossible possible.
