PHILANTHROPIC INITIATIVE

BELLA IMPACT

Bella Impact was created to place the value of a story directly into the hands of institutions that serve children.

Bella the Sunshine Girl began as a children’s story about warmth, safety, and light.

Over time, it grew into something that could live beyond the page.

Bella Impact is a philanthropic initiative created by Still Poetry House to support children’s foundations through a territorial, long-term, and non-performative model of giving.

The initiative is supported by a structural framework called Permanent Licensing with Exclusive Territorial Stewardship (PLETS), which enables one foundation per country or territory to steward the work locally.

For each partnered country or territory:

  • Bella the Sunshine Girl is licensed exclusively for sale within that territory
  • all net proceeds from sales within that territory are allocated to a single local foundation  

This structure maintains clarity, continuity, and dignity—for both the children and the institutions that serve them.

Bella the Sunshine Girl A Gentle Story About Courage and Small Steps

How the Model Works

  • One foundation per country or territory  
    To prevent overlap, dilution, or fragmented support  
  • Territorial allocation of proceeds  
    Sales are tied to geography, and funds remain local  
  • No cross-border pooling
    Proceeds generated in one country are not redirected to another  
  • Global publishing, local impact
    Bella the Sunshine Girl is distributed internationally through standard publishing channels.  
    Proceeds outside partnered territories remain with Still Poetry House to sustain the work and future giving  

What We Support

Bella Impact supports:

  • children’s education
  • child protection and welfare
  • safe learning environments
  • long-term care programs already in place  

We do not create parallel initiatives.  
We strengthen existing foundations quietly and consistently.

On Visibility

Bella Impact does not operate through campaigns, press releases, or donor features.

Partner foundations are not required to:

  • promote the author or the House
  • provide photographs or testimonials
  • participate in publicity  

The work is designed to continue—not to circulate.

Inquiries

Foundations interested in partnership may reach out through Still Poetry House.
