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.

All of our charitable donations support women and girls from around the world. As an import company, we sell goods from around the globe and feel it is important to give back to those communities. Rather than donating a percentage of sales, we have traditionally selected specific items and donate profits from that item to a specific cause. Read more>>

I was truly proud to give back to my community and it was a first time supporting their cause and it was a true success. Read more>>

When we first started Endless August LLC, we knew we wanted to add in some way to ensure we give back to our community so within a couple months of forming the LLC, we reached out to a couple local non-profit organizations to work with them. We currently have “The VREC Bracelet” for sale on our website and 10% of all proceeds will go directly to the The Veterans Resource and Enrichment Center in Saint Cloud, MN once the promotion is complete.
