New venture from the owner of Tiny Tales
Announcing Goods for Goodness’ Sake
Helping to make an impact - one purchase at a time.
A new year and a new way of shopping. At long last…we are ready to announce our new venture! Cathe (Feterie) and Lara (Tiny Tales) have joined forces to create an exciting and different online boutique called Goods for Goodness’ Sake. This boutique is special… 100% of profits will be donated to charity.
Our mission statement is: Goods for Goodness’ Sake is an online boutique that donates 100% of its profits to customer-selected charities through the sale of products created by small businesses.
We have partnered with amazing stationery designers to bring you beautiful and unique paper goods and plan to quickly expand to include other items. Many of the designers are creating exclusive designs that will only be available on Goods for Goodness’ Sake. When you make a purchase, you will be able to select the charity that will benefit. We will limit the number of charities that we donate to to around 5, so that we don’t spread our donations too thinly.
In order for Goods for Goodness’ Sake to be a success, we need your help in the following ways:
- We are still collecting a list of potential charities from which the 5 initial charities will be selected, so send us charities for consideration that are near and dear to your heart. We want to make an impact with small charities that are doing good work but don’t receive the attention of the larger, well-known charities. Our criteria is: non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization (sorry - no “human fund” entries), under $500,000 in annual revenue, and a reach larger than a local area. If you aren’t sure if your favorite charity meets the criteria, send it along anyway and we’ll do the research. Email suggestions to SubmitCharity {at } goodsforgoodnesssake.com.
- Forward this post to everyone you know. We are on a shoestring budget so that we can donate as much as possible. This means we will be relying on the cheapest marketing of all…word of mouth! So open up your online address books and liberally apply the forward button.
- If you haven’t already, sign up at www.GoodsForGoodnessSake.com to receive future communications. Being a newsletter subscriber will give you the privilege of casting a vote to narrow down our list of charities to the 5 and will include a coupon for your first order.
