About Us

B Local Bay Area is an independently run organization – led by a volunteer board that works closely with the B Lab U.S. & Canada team. B Local Leaders serve as shepherds of the B Corp community – often organizing events, leading awareness initiatives, building partnerships, and providing learning opportunities for companies and people in our region.

B Local Bay Area is fiscally sponsored by the Social Good Fund. Social Good works to create and establish positive influences for individuals, communities, and the environment. Their goal is to sponsor and develop projects that will help positively impact and develop local communities into healthier and happier places to live, work, and be.
