When Bunchful Founder, Raquel Miller was growing up in the Caribbean, she gained profound life lessons, first through her grandmother with whom she spent the first ten years of life in their small farming town, and later through her father. Her experiences translated into a desire to ignite global inspiration through giving, which lead her to found Bunchful Enterprises, a platform to honor the achievements of individuals and organizations who are making a positive impact in their communities and the world. This then lead to the adoption of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were created to establish a more compassionate world, as an operating standard for the organization. Accordingly, the Bunchful Awards and the Bunchful Future of Philanthropy Summit aim to raise awareness about the SDGs and the crucial role of philanthropy in driving sustainable development.

Additionally, and on a more basic level, we wanted to create a space for sharing success stories, highlighting exemplary practices, and inspiring the replication of successful initiatives. We believe that by fostering collaboration and bringing together diverse stakeholders, we can encourage partnerships, the exchange of ideas and to accelerate our own progress. Furthermore, we hope to motivate philanthropic actions and showcase the tangible impact of such efforts and recognize diverse contributions.

However, our efforts extend beyond mere recognition. We strive to promote the global goals at a local level, and aim to acknowledge philanthropic leadership, placing great emphasis on encouraging youth engagement and mobilizing resources to attract funding and support for charitable endeavors. We strongly believe in responsible investment and the promotion of accountability. Through highlighting the role of businesses in corporate social responsibility, we aim to showcase their potential to make a positive impact, influencing policy and fostering a culture of volunteerism.
