In 2010, Wana Brands became one of the first cannabis companies to emerge in the newly legalized Colorado market. Thirteen years later, Wana has become one of the largest and most trusted makers of cannabis edibles, offering an innovative array of premium infused gummies to customers in 16 states (plus Canada and Puerto Rico). Through it all, Wana's mission has remained the same: to enhance lives through the power of cannabis.
This goal is not just about the many wellness benefits cannabis can offer, but about being of service in all of the communities where Wana gummies are sold - through donations, mentorship, and advocacy. A year and a half ago, Wana co-founder and CEO Nancy Whiteman took the company mission a step further by establishing the Wana Brands Foundation, a $50 million charitable trust focused on enhancing lives through social justice, mental health and addiction services, sustainability and public safety initiatives, and so much more. Over the years, both Wana and the Wana Brands Foundation have been a tremendous partner to Out Boulder County and the LGBTQIA+ community, and this year we are proud to offer Wana the Corporate Changemaker of the year award.
We are so pleased to honor Wana Brands & Wana Brands Foundation as our 2023 corporate Changemaker!
