FISHERS, Ind., October 11, 2022 /3BL Media/ - Land Betterment Corporation (“Land Betterment” or the “Company”), an environmental solutions company fostering positive impact through upcycling former coal mining and industrial sites to create sustainable community development and job creation, is pleased to announce the charities that are part of the Land Betterment Exchange Charitable Contribution Program.

At the Land Betterment Exchange (LBX), we’re tackling one land remediation project at a time. But we’re also making time to nurture meaningful charities. The Land Betterment Exchange Charitable Contribution Program supports causes in housing, global clean water initiatives, reduced recidivism through job training and employment, and human health.  
  
Get to know these charities.  
  
**ēko Villages of Hope**  
[ēko Villages of Hope](https://www.ekosolutionsllc.com/) supports individuals with housing and food scarcity by providing sustainable and durable building solutions.  
  
For housing, ēko makes high-end living solutions with recycled shipping containers and rapidly deploys them to areas affected by natural disasters. To date, ēko Villages of Hope have deployed 20 homes to western Kentucky—an area that was impacted by a massive tornado in 2021. ēko strives to help the community on a path to recovery with the deployment of 200 homes.  
  
ēko Solutions also helps these communities create sustainable, controlled growing environments through ēko Farms. ēko Farms is building vertical farms for schools as a form of education and agricultural solutions.  
  
**The Scotty Michael Foundation**  
[The Scotty Michael Foundation](https://scottymichael.org/) is a nonprofit organization tackling a very sensitive issue - assisting families after the sudden and tragic loss of a baby. The Scotty Michael Foundation helps these families get through their worst days with special attention and support. Through donations, LBX was able to donate to Scotty Boxes, which gives parents resources for grief, funding support groups and funding hospital bills up to $1,000.  
  
**Beyond Type 1**  
[Beyond Type 1](http://beyondtype1.org/) is a philanthropic nonprofit providing platforms, programs, grants and other resources for uniting individuals with diabetes. Bridging the gap between the diabetic community with modern solutions, the charity is improving lives across the globe. This relatively young charity (founded in 2015), educates and advocates a cure for Type 1 diabetes. But Beyond Type 1 doesn’t discriminate; it offers centers and programs for those who suffer from Type 2 diabetes. Beyond Type 1 supports those with diabetes, from the individual to family and friends. 100% of every dollar supports global efforts on a cure. To donate, [visit here](https://donate.beyondtype1.org/give/80413/#!/donation/checkout).  
  
**The Heart Water Foundation**  
[The Heart Water Foundation](https://drinkheartwater.com/pages/hw-foundation), founded in 2017, provides clean water for global communities to drink. Their shop sells fun, purple water bottles for anyone to buy online. Groundwater can often contain lethal elements such as arsenic, which poisons impacted communities who access the water. The Heart Water sources the rainwater 100% from clouds and provides it to these communities. More than 20% of profits from every Heart Water bottle provides clean water for people across the world. To donate, [visit here](https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=WKC3TFRWK88MJ).  
  
**RecycleForce**  
[RecycleForce](https://recycleforce.org/) is a 501(c)3 that is committed to reducing crime through employment and job training, while improving the environment through electronics recycling. RecycleForce creates a stronger civil society and increases public safety through job creation and recycling. This makes a positive impact on the environment, local and state economies, communities, and the lives of hundreds of formerly incarcerated men and women along with their families. Since 2006, RecycleForce has safely recycled more than 65 million pounds of electronic waste while providing job training to thousands of returning citizens.
