Great Hill Partners is pleased to share that Bombas has earned a place on TIME's inaugural list of the 10 Most Influential Social Good Companies of 2026. This recognition honors companies that are driving social impact through their innovation, influence, and leadership.
Over a decade ago, Bombas launched with a simple but ambitious premise: sell 1 million pairs of its premium socks while donating an equal number to people experiencing homelessness. Socks, though often overlooked, are among the items most requested at homeless shelters and the least frequently donated. This set the stage for the company's "one purchased = one donated" model, which now extends beyond socks to include other apparel basics. To date, Bombas has contributed more than 200 million clothing items to communities across all fifty states through over 4,000 giving partner organizations.
Bombas continues to expand into new channels through a wholesale partnership with Target and the opening of retail stores in New York, Florida, and Texas, bringing the brand to customers in new ways while extending the reach of its donation model. We are proud to support the Bombas team as it continues to scale both its business and its mission.
