Global Impact through Blockchain

Our partnership with Ripple goes beyond philanthropy — it's a bold investment in AOF so that we can provide a larger number of small businesses with affordable capital, coaching, and networks to help them improve financial well-being, grow, and succeed.

It wasn't just the scale of Ripple's commitment that stood out. It was the clarity of intention and focus on impact. That clarity made it possible for us to steward a gift of this size with confidence and deliver meaningful results for teachers and students across the country.

Ripple's investment is a powerful affirmation of our mission to ensure veterans and military spouses never have to face the civilian workforce alone. Through this partnership, Hire Heroes USA will help thousands achieve lasting career success and economic stability.

The IRC is committed to exploring innovative solutions that help us respond rapidly to communities impacted by humanitarian crises.

We are excited to receive a grant through Ripple’s UBRI program, allowing us to further explore cutting-edge research areas and foster a deeper understanding of blockchain's impact on the finance and management industries.

Ripple’s UBRI partnership has advanced blockchain education and research at Cornell, supporting the DEFT Lab’s cutting-edge work on DeFi and economics, engaging students through a payments innovation hackathon, and shaping key discussions on stablecoins, payments, and CBDCs at an invite-only roundtable.
