Giving Back
Supporting social causes is one of the most important things we can do.
- We donate a minimum of 5% of proceeds from each sale to charitable organizations doing vital work.
- We've supported dozens of organizations - including Feeding America, No Kid Hungry, Equal Justice Initiative, NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD and many others.
