Real, measurable impact with every sale

Every order triggers a micro-donation to a vetted project, and you know exactly what it did.

You choose three things: the product, the amount donated per sale, and the cause it funds.

  1. A customer buys one of your products.
  2. A donation, like $1, is made automatically, by you, your customer, or both.
  3. Impact is delivered to the cause you chose.
