" As a management company, TouchPoint provides unique and innovative solutions. We do this by providing capital resources and building strategic partnerships with companies whose business models have future growth potential and are dedicated to building a responsible new economy. The recent collapse of global capital markets has been particularly onerous for companies seeking new investment to grow their business. Particularly hard hit have been Triple Bottom Line (TBL) companies, a sector of business defined by its commitment to people, planet and profit. While consumer demand for TBL products that has driven market caps to over $200B, there is currently only $5B of private equity capital invested into TBL companies. TouchPoint sees the current crisis as an opportunity for companies to raise new cash from the investment community. TouchPoint is a for profit company supporting for profit initiatives and enterprises. We do this in two ways. First, we build our own financial products. But in addition to that, we build strategic partnerships that scale and support other business models we believe have growth potential and will positively impact the future. We strive for sustainability and prosperity. TouchPoint is committed to developing sustainable resources, both at home and abroad. We share a vision with our partners of developing three sectors: Green Consumer Products, Renewable Energy and Emerging Market Development."

About ShoreBank Pacific ShoreBank Pacific is the first commercial bank in the United States with a commitment to environmentally sustainable community development. We believe that long-term community prosperity goes hand-in-hand with a healthy environment. With that vision, ShoreBank Pacific, a Washington State chartered, FDIC insured bank, was formed in 1997 as a joint project of ShoreBank Corp., the nation's first community development bank, and Ecotrust™, an environmental non-profit. Through our lending programs, ShoreBank Pacific brings together conservation and community and economic development. We continue to create wealth in communities that wouldn't have access to banking otherwise. We've built a fantastic place to work that is founded on honesty and excellence. We became a B Corporation to support our mission and lend our credibility to a system that identifies and supports "good businesses." When you deposit your money at ShoreBank Pacific, you are helping to create sustainable companies, vibrant communities, and healthy environments by providing funds to our lending programs. Like other banks, we provide commercial loans; however, unlike other banks, we are conscientious to whom we lend, and potential customers are "scored" using a program of sustainability criteria, including conservation, community development, and economy measures. A healthy and sustainable business will translate into a healthy and sustainable community and economy. ShoreBank Pacific is wholly owned by ShoreBank Corporation, the nation's first community development and environmental banking corporation. The Change We Seek™ ShoreBank Pacific profitably assists businesses, and through them their communities, to be sustainable in economic, social, and environmental practices. * We lend money from our EcoDeposits™ program to businesses and non-profits that are committed to improving their sustainable footprint.
