Brownble Gives Back
We are firm believers in the power of paying it forward.
When brownble first popped into our heads, one of the first things we decided on was including a regular contribution to our favorite non-profit organizations, as the cornerstone of our business plan. We can't tell you how many times we've wanted to make a personal contribution to a cause only to get distracted with work or with not knowing who will benefit the most, or which organizations are legit. We're doing all the leg work for you, and even better, we're taking it out of our piece of the pie!
That's right!
A part of all our proceeds from our courses go right into the hands (or paws, hooves, wings!) of those who need it the most.
Here are some of the great causes, human and non-human, who will receive the brownble love, all thanks to our wonderful community of members, a.k.a. the brownble family!

Heartland Farm Sanctuary
Heartland is Wisconsin’s rescue resource for farm animals and serves as one of the state’s only shelters devoted to the care and rehabilitation of pigs, goats, chickens, and other country critters. Every year, Heartland members provide the “last chance” for dozens of abused, neglected, and abandoned farm animals who have nowhere else to go. Many of the animals find their forever homes at Heartland, and others are placed into safe, loving adoptive homes so we can keep our barn doors open for other animals in need of refuge.
In turn, each animal rescued “gives back” to thousands of people each year. Led by licensed counselors and knowledgeable animal care staff, Heartland offers therapeutic animal assisted services to children and adults with special needs, at risk youth, and youth and adults who have been traumatized from abuse or other significant loss in their lives. Our therapeutic support programs provide healing and hope for hundreds of individuals and their families each year.
