What Packed with Purpose does

Packed with Purpose is a privately held, woman-owned (WBENC-certified) and B Corporation-certified corporate gifting company founded in 2016 by Leeatt Rothschild and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company curates gift boxes, baskets, and branded merchandise sourced from a network of 250+ U.S. small businesses and mission-driven organizations, including A Safe Haven Foundation, Lambs Farm, Women's Bean Project, Together We Bake, and Veteran Roasters. It serves enterprise and mid-market clients across financial services (Bain Capital, MetLife, Northwestern Mutual), professional services (EY, 2Civility), technology (LinkedIn, Motorola Solutions, SilkRoad Technology), healthcare (Quest Diagnostics), food and agriculture (Kellogg), staffing (Roo Vet), and nonprofit segments with use cases spanning client appreciation, employee recognition, conference and event gifting, and holiday programs.

The core product is purpose-driven corporate gifting built around curated gift boxes with a proprietary Stories of Impact Booklet that documents the social impact of each item. The technology layer consists of an e-commerce storefront (shop.packedwithpurpose.gifts), a custom Corporate Gifting Portal with address collection and recipient-choice functionality (Standard $99, Enhanced $199, and Premium $299 setup tiers), a Gift Concierge service, custom-branded products, and a PwP Treats confectionery sub-brand produced through the A Safe Haven Foundation partnership. Fulfillment runs through a Salt Lake City distribution center supporting global shipping, with orders handled in volumes from 1 to 1,000+ gifts per program.

The business model mixes one-time gift sales with recurring portal subscription revenue. Pricing is unit-based for gifting ($3-7 per gift for branding, $6.99-$11.99 per case for PwP Treats confections, gifts priced under $50 to $150+) with setup fees ($99-$299) and a $2,000 minimum order on the Gifting Portal. GTM combines enterprise field sales through the Gift Concierge team, inside sales on phone and online, event-driven conference gifting, an Impact.com affiliate channel, and self-service e-commerce for smaller orders. The company is bootstrapped aside from a $25,000 TechRise Chicago grant in 2022, holds 50%+ diverse/women-owned partners, and operates without disclosed institutional shareholders or subsidiaries.
