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.

Dominique Gonzales

Our team is committed to working with the local school and their special needs program to ensure these students are given the opportunity to learn job-related skills. We donate 1% back to the program in order to fund job training materials and equipment that will help these young individuals be more successful when they enter the workforce. Read more>>

Since the day I started my business, I have donated 10% of my sales to causes and organizations that i trust. Currently, I am honored to partner with The Alpha Project in San Diego. They are dedicated to providing bridge shelter, resources, rehabilitation and permanent housing placement for our homeless community in San Diego. Thankful for all that they do to support our city and the many people who need assistance bettering their lives and living a healthy and fulfilling one. Read more>>

Every year I allocate between 7 and 10% of revenue to the American Heart Association. As a heart attack survivor (x2!), I want to help prevent more people from walking the path that I have. It took about two months after my episodes, which occurred one month apart, for me to feel comfortable sharing my experience with others. Read more>>

Right now we are donating 15% of our online sales and 10% of show sales to Maui Humane Society and Maui Strong because Tiki designers like me owe a significant part of our inspiration to Hawaii Islands. Our 2023 summer collection is called Paradise Islands and is inspired by my 2022 trip to Oahu and Maui and is a tribute with jewels to Hawaii’s nature, culture, ocean, and legends. We have to do our best to help these paradise islands recover from the disaster. Read more>>

We’ve donated a percentage of our taproom sales to a different local nonprofit every month since Jackalope opened, over twelve years ago. We structure it by pairing one of our beers with the nonprofit and donating 20% of our taproom proceeds of that beer for the month to the organization. Read more>>

Nadina’s Cremes has always worked on the mission of giving back. I, Jill Nadine Clements, have always had a passion for our Forest, knowing they are the oxygen to our planets’ lungs. Through interaction with cultures around the world, I developed a commitment to preserving and protecting our planet. Not only did environmental concerns matter to me but social concerns also. Throughout my business, numerous ways to give back have just fallen in place, and here, I will highlight a few. Read more>>

Since the Hawai’i wildfire disaster on Maui, I’ve been making all photo sessions booked during the month of August as donation-based with all money going towards wildfire relief and support of those effected. The wildfires hit very close to home, as I lived Big Island Hawai’i and can see the island of Maui just across the water. Since spending significant time on the islands last summer, I’d been feeling a magnetic, almost spiritual pull to be back. Read more>>
