About Ever Better
|
A meaningful purpose is central to any great organization. At Ever Better, our purpose is to help social enterprises (other purpose-driven organizations) become more effective, adaptive, and equitable.
Our goal is to perform at least 90% of our work for Certified B Corps, Benefit Corporations, other social enterprises, and nonprofits. Our work is informed by key ideas included in the B Corp Declaration of Interdependence. Regarding systemic racism in the US As a public benefit corporation and Certified B Corp, Ever Better condemns racism in all of its forms. This organization was founded on the principle that businesses can be a force for good, working toward a prosperous economy, a sustainable environment, and equitable communities. Our communities will not be equitable until we acknowledge and change the systemic oppression of people of color in the United States. Ever Better is a Colorado Public Benefit Corporation.

Ever Better was founded in 2017 by Pete Dignan. Pete spent nearly 20 years leading two Certified B Corps and a nonprofit. He is a keen observer who asks incisive questions and listens. He applies his experience as a CEO and Executive Director to help teams become more
purposeful, participatory, and adaptive. “Pete is a visionary leader and excellent manager and motivator of people...His sharp mind, decades of experience in leadership and high EQ allow Pete to immediately bring value to any organization.” -- John Powers, VP Renewable Choice Energy “It was a no-brainer to engage Pete given his deep and varied experience as a conscientious and 'teal' leader, positive and calm demeanor and his caring and patient style. Pete’s insight and encouragement have been transformative. Pete is able to uncover excellence and validate high expectations while instilling a more creative and adaptable style of leadership. I wholeheartedly recommend Pete.” -- Jason Wiener, Jason Wiener PC |
