Here are a few facts
for you to ponder.
Who Are You?
Pillars of Change, LLC, a media company, is a purpose-driven content studio dedicated to turning powerful storytelling into measurable social impact. The studio produces podcasts, films, digital storytelling, and applications that both inspire audiences and help fund change for communities most affected by injustice and inequality.
What are your core Pillars?
Pillars of Change Media (POC) exists to create highquality, narrativerich content that moves people to action. The studio focuses on five pillars that advance education, health and wellness, social justice, human rights, and the fight against food insecurity. By collaborating with community leaders, advocates, experts, and nonprofits, the company amplifies underrepresented voices, challenges harmful narratives, and converts audience engagement into advocacy, funding, and direct support.
What are your first year impact goals (through 2026)?
By the end of 2026, Pillars of Change Media aims to operate as a fully built out, mission driven content studio producing podcasts, live events, videos, commercials, and apps. Each project will be aligned with at least one core pillar and a defined share of quarterly profits will be directed to victims, vetted nonprofits, and communities, tying the success of every show or campaign to tangible outcomes for the communities it serves.
What is the Pay-It-Forward Program?
The Pay It Forward Program model dedicates a set percentage of profits from every project to vetted communities, victims, non-profit organizations and/or causes aligned with our pillars. When audiences listen, watch, share, or attend, they also help fund food assistance, shelter, education, mental health support, legal resources, and other essential services delivered by trusted organizations. Impact is designed to be transparent, repeatable, and built into the business rather than treated as an afterthought. Our quarterly distributions are managed in the US by UPI Loan Fund, a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
