NOSTOS Fund:

Win Life-Changing round trips home

"we commit 5% of profits to our NOSTOS fund, which will offer life changing, round trips home for our community."

- Megan Del Carmen, Founder, Great Bear

origination

We're passionate about giving back so when we considered partners for our good will funds, we decided that the right place for them was back into our own community.

We're immensely proud to have created the Great Bear NOSTOS fund, which will give competition winners a life-changing opportunity to return to the place they call home.

NOSTOS Meaning

NOSTOS is the theme used in traditional greek story-telling where the hero returns home to glory, to light and to celebration.

The word Nostalgia is directly derived from the term Nostos, which is used to describe the sometimes overwhelming feeling of yearning and comfort for home.
