3 years ago while on a surf trip in Mexico Jordan had an idea for a surf journaling app. Between sessions he mocked up the app and upon returning to the States contacted his good friend and surf buddy Ben Rewis. After countless hours of post surf discussions in Ben’s van, Jordan & Ben decided to found newSprout Foundation with the idea and intent to create mobile and web applications for charity.
In 2011 We legally incorporated as a nonprofit in MA and formalized our tax-exempt status. Our Tax ID Filing Number is 201007273660. new Sprout is in the process of becoming a 501c3 with the IRS.
