So... what are the supported causes? What is the criteria for a cause to be qualified for support?

There are charities and causes I do support and there are those that I don't. There are charities that oppose each other in their stated goals as well.

I see a section that talks about becoming a supported charity, but nothing about criteria or who is already in.

I would be surprised if it did not devolve into a kickback arrangement at some point. Benefit corps are a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist but gives a ton of leeway for under the table dealing. Not saying these guys have any particular reputation a priori, but when the structure is set up for it, it tends to happen sooner or later.

"Note, the Giveback is currently not recognized as a tax deductible donation- sorry!"

So it's actually worse than a standard mutual insurance dividend / rebate which you could donate yourself.
