In 2012, Rene Boisvert founded the anti-poverty non-profit organization,
Taking it to the Streets.
Based in Oakland, California, Taking it to the Streets uses a for-profit
marketing, advertising, and sponsorship business model to drive
contributions. Contributions that will ultimately help those living in
poverty. The organization’s leadership has over two decades of proven
for-profit marketing experience.
The organization’s methodology, recognized uniquely as Multiplication
Philanthropy, creates partnerships with national, regional, and local
media outlets to formulate and produce marketing campaigns that
advocate widespread, community-based fundraising. The organization
views these marketing efforts as investments from which they expect
specific returns of investment for both donors and those in need.
