Q: What is the purpose of the Clean Cause Foundation (CCF)?

A: CCF was founded with the purpose to support the recovery community and to effectively and responsibly manage the giveback funds generated from the CLEAN Cause Inc. (CCI) national beverage company. To date, CCI has donated $3,660,477 towards recovery programming and continues to serve as CCF’s primary funder.

Q: Why does CCF no longer provide recovery housing scholarships?

A: CCF is shifting its focus to programs that tackle systemic challenges within the recovery housing system of care. In recent years, the Foundation has received an average of 1,000 scholarship applications per month but has had to decline more than 90% of them given the amount of funds overseen by the Foundation. This highlighted a persistent gap between the demand and available scholarship funding, emphasizing the need for a broader, systems-level approach to drive sustainable, long-term change.

Q: How will CCF continue to fulfill its mission?

A: By working with other organizations as a part of the Cause CHANGE Collaborative. As a part of this new organization, our goal is to help design initiatives that genuinely reflect the voices and experiences of those in recovery. Through our participation in the Cause CHANGE Collaborative, the CLEAN Cause Foundation will continue to advance its mission by providing targeted support to recovery homes, helping them enhance sustainability, implement best practices, and build capacity to support individuals in the recovery process.

Q: Where can I learn more about the Cause CHANGE Collaborative program?

A: Visit the Cause CHANGE website at www.cause-change.org

Q: How can I help the recovery housing cause?

A: Supporting the recovery housing movement is a powerful way to help individuals rebuild their lives and achieve lasting recovery. Every effort—whether large or small—can significantly impact recovery housing and empower individuals on their journey.

Purchasing CLEAN Cause beverages is another way to make a meaningful contribution to CCF’s recovery housing programs. As CCI remains the primary funder of CCF, every can lends a hand.
