AidKit Achieves B Corp Certification, Deepening Its Commitment to Social Impact and Ethical Governance

The B Corp certification underscores AidKit's leadership in ethical innovation, aligning its mission-driven technology with the highest standards of social and environmental accountability

DENVER, June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AidKit, a Public Benefit Corporation that helps government agencies and nonprofits administer aid programs effectively and transparently, today announced its certification as a B Corporation (B Corp), joining a global movement of companies using business as a force for good. Certified B Corporations are for-profit businesses that meet high standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability. The new certification positions the company at the forefront of a broader shift toward purpose-driven, sustainable business practices.

"The seed shapes the tree and AidKit grew out of a nonprofit initiative to serve systematically excluded communities with access to cash and benefits," said Brittany Christenson, CEO of AidKit. "Now that we've been a successful company for a number of years, this B Corp certification is proof that we're not just talking about impact, we're living it every day. This certification demonstrates our commitment to transparency, equity and building something that benefits people and the planet, not just our bottom line. Being a B Corp means we're accountable to more than driving profits. We're accountable to the communities we serve and the values on which we stand."

Certified B Corporations are for-profit companies that meet rigorous standards for social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability. By becoming a B Corp, AidKit joins a global movement of more than 7,000 certified companies across 80 countries and over 150 industries that are redefining what it means to be successful in business. The certification program reflects a growing shift away from prioritizing shareholder profits alone and toward creating broader stakeholder value by putting the well-being of people, communities and the planet at the heart of business decisions.

In today's business environment, where consumers, employees and investors are increasingly demanding accountability and values-driven leadership, B Corp certification is a strong signal of trust and integrity. Amid increasing scrutiny over greenwashing, declining trust in traditional corporate social responsibility initiatives and rising concerns about economic inequality, companies are under increasing pressure to demonstrate genuine accountability. The B Corp certification program offers a rigorous framework for businesses to validate their social and environmental impact and make meaningful commitments to transparency, ethical practices and long-term stakeholder value.

AidKit's B Corp certification comes during a period of strong momentum for the company. In recent months, AidKit secured $8.5 million in Series A funding to accelerate product development and client expansion, launched AidKit Essentials, a rapid-deployment toolkit for local governments and nonprofits and was selected to administer Los Angeles County's Small Business and Worker Relief Funds. The company also partnered with GiveDirectly to pilot AI-powered automation that reduces backlogs in public benefits enrollment and played a key role in delivering Illinois' Cook County Promise Guaranteed Income Pilot—the largest publicly funded program of its kind in U.S. history—as well as Cook County's 2025 Homeowners Relief Fund, one of the first large-scale efforts by a local government to provide direct payments in response to rising property tax burdens.

"Becoming a Public Benefit Corporation and pursuing B Corp certification was a natural step for AidKit," said Katrina Van Gasse, Chief Impact Officer and co-founder at AidKit. "The impact assessment validated that we've built a mission-driven, socially conscious company. Now, as a certified B Corp, we have a clear framework that upholds our values, safeguards our mission as we scale and signals to the world that we're strongly committed to delivering aid with integrity and dignity."

B Corp Certification is awarded by B Lab, a nonprofit that evaluates companies on their impact across five key areas: workers, customers, community, environment and governance. To qualify, companies must meet rigorous B Impact Assessment criteria, meet legal accountability standards, and commit to ongoing measurement and improvement. AidKit's certification reflects its work to empower frontline organizations, streamline equitable aid distribution and ensure that every dollar of assistance reaches the people who need it most.
