We love the idea of being able to help non-profits succeed in some really non-conventional ways. It’s why we’re passionate about Project 7’s work! They create products, retailers sell them to consumers, consumers learn more about humanitarian issues and fund nonprofits. Nonprofits are able to accomplish more, and bring things full circle to be able to tell stories of restoration in communities who are desperate for it. They have a very different approach to conducting business. Through their efforts they’ve been able to help a myriad of non-profits who are each doing important work. We wanted to highlight and celebrate with them their successes!
They are also partnering with Gift Card Giver’s Gift Card Drive this summer! If you’re interested in joining in, check out the invitations and see when we’re near you!
