We’ve been blown away by the examples of generosity and kindness that are at the heart of so many brands in the community. We asked some of the most giving entrepreneurs and leaders we know to tell us about how they think about the practice of donating a percentage of sales.

We donate 100% of proceeds from our social media to law enforcement causes. As retired law enforcement officers ourselves, these organizations hold special meaning to us. Recently, we contributed $2,050 to the Eau Claire County Fair program, which enables deputies to provide bicycles to children at the County Fair. Having served in law enforcement, we understand the importance of positive community interactions, especially with young people. Supporting programs that help build trust between officers and the communities they serve is our way of continuing to make an impact even after retirement. Our travels have shown us the importance of strong community bonds across America, and we’re proud to help facilitate that connection through our donations. Read more>>

As co-director of GROUND SERIES dance & social justice collective, I work to amplify local justice initiatives in our research, practice and performances. We partner with community stewards and target audiences to receive pointed feedback and accountability before, during, and after the work is shown.We perform in spaces not usually activated by dance, creating opportunities for unexpected audiences and radical accessibility. Our performances redistribute resources to historically marginalized site stewards, community partners, or collective members. Read more>>

Beyond supporting my family, Pika’s Bouquet exists to bring joy with lovely flowers and items, to celebrate makers and growers, and to give back. Pika’s Bouquet donates 1% of all profits to The Glacier National Park Conservancy. Glacier National Park and its surrounding ecosystems are at the heart of my inspiration and work. It is home to the pika (the cutest alpine critter) and countless other species of flora and fauna. Each Pika’s Bouquet purchase supports efforts to protect this special area. Read more>>
