When we founded Elements, we made a decision that would forever shape our company's soul: 25% of our profits would go directly to education for underprivileged children. This wasn't an afterthought or a feel-good marketing strategy added later for good PR. This was our North Star from day one.
Because we never wanted Elements to become another company that starts with heart but slowly gets consumed by the relentless pursuit of profit margins and growth at any cost. We've seen too many businesses begin with beautiful intentions, only to have the pressure of scaling, competition, and pure financial optimization gradually erode their original soul. We wanted to hardcode purpose into our DNA so deeply that profit-maximization could never hijack our values.
From the very first truffle we made, we knew that every purchase would do more than satisfy a craving – it would change a life. This wasn't just a business model; it was a sacred commitment to ensure that our success would always be measured not just in revenue, but in the number of children who could dream bigger because of education.
This is capitalism with conscience. This is business as a force for good. This is Elements.
We are proud to support the initiatives of Care for Children that are transforming lives through education. 100,000+ children are currently receiving free holistic education through 1,327+ schools across rural India. These schools operate in the slum, tribal, and rural belts where child labor and poverty are widespread. Exactly where intervention can break generational cycles of inequality.
This is about transformation, not just numbers. Care for Children’s programs focus on family-based care, ensuring that children grow up in nurturing environments that support their emotional and physical well-being.In urban slums, they offer a safe haven for children, steering them away from crime and violence.
For us, this isn't charity. It's justice.
Education is the fundamental birthright of every human being. It shouldn't matter if you're born in a Manhattan penthouse or a rural Indian village. Every child deserves the tools to unlock their potential.
As immigrants from India who built successful careers in America, we understand firsthand the transformative power of education. It was education that gave us
The ability to dream beyond our circumstances | Skills to navigate new cultures and opportunities | Confidence to build businesses and create value | Resources to give back to communities that need it most
We are living proof that education is the great equalizer.
Now we have the privilege and responsibility to ensure other children get the same opportunities that changed our lives forever.
We believe that education is a universal right that can help break the cycles of poverty, disease, and social inequity. It empowers children with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to shape a better future for themselves, their communities and the world.
Priya was working in brick kilns at age 8 when the free school in her village opened. Today, at 16, she's not only literate but dreams of becoming a teacher to help other children in her community. Her younger siblings are all in school instead of working – a complete transformation of her family's trajectory.
In rural Rajasthan, where girls traditionally don't attend school past elementary age, Meera became the first girl in her village to complete Grade 10 through the Free School initiative. She's now training to become a community health worker, bringing both education and healthcare knowledge back to her village.
In Dharavi, Asia’s largest slum, children who once had no access to education are now learning English, developing skills, and breaking free from the cycle of poverty.
This is where the magic happens; where your conscious consumption creates conscious impact.

Your chocolate addiction and protein consumption is literally breaking
generational poverty cycles.
Most companies that give back donate 1-3% of profits. Some consider themselves generous at 5%. We chose 25% because we wanted our giving to be transformational, not transactional.
This isn't a side project or tax write-off. It is core to who we are. When you choose us, you're not buying from a company that gives back; you're partnering with a movement that happens to make incredible products.
25% means
For every $4 in profit, $1 goes directly to education | Your purchase has immediate, measurable impact | We're invested in outcomes, not just good intentions | Education isn't separate from our business – it IS our business
Every single impact number in this article exists because of our incredible community of consumers, supporters, and believers.
Without you, these children would still be without education. With you, they're writing entirely different life stories.

This isn't a one-way transaction where we take your money and send you products. This is a three-way partnership:
You get premium nutrition that nourishes your body | We get to build a sustainable business doing what we love | Children get education that transforms their entire futures
Everyone wins. Everyone grows. Everyone thrives.
In a world where it's easy to feel powerless about making real change, here's something beautifully simple: Your next Elements purchase will put another child in school.
This isn't about guilt or obligation. This is about the incredible privilege of living in a way where your daily choices create positive ripple effects around the world.
"Because my chocolate addiction is funding someone's education. Because my protein routine is breaking poverty cycles. Because my small daily choices are creating big life changes for children who deserve every opportunity I've had."
