Abbreviated: R.B.I.; An approach to investing where an individual offers to invest, or donate, money, resources, and or provide information to a business or organization, but before the organization can get anything from the investor, they are given some objectives by the potential investor who expects them to make significant progress towards completing them and or complete some of them by a certain point in time before they are willing to invest or donate in their organization or business
Results-Based Investment can be a very useful tool for various individuals and or organizations working to promote social change in society, because it allows them to pressure certain businesses and organizations into taking certain stances on specific social issues and or change policies that are harmful and or unreasonably discriminatory against certain populations.

A signature support method developed by WCAIC (Women and Children Affected by Internet Crimes) that focuses on helping clients “strip down” their emotional defenses to a raw, honest base—free of social filters, guilt, or external control. The practice invites full transparency in a safe space where survivors, caregivers, or advocates can openly express thoughts or feelings without judgment. It’s about freeing the “base” self—your most genuine emotional core—from the restraints of trauma, fear, or manipulation.
