Hard to believe that it’s been a whole month that we’ve been doing this, and hard to believe it’s only been a month!
Over the last couple of days, I’ve been sending out the donations that have accumulated as a result of your purchases.
To date, we’ve been able to donate $275 back to the community. There are still lots of pots in need of homes — including the “100%ers” for March for Black Lives, the cash-in-a-hand fund, and Determination Martial arts — so, there’s still lots more good we can do.
In case you’re curious, here’s how the donations broke down this time around:
10% of all sales (including the 100%ers) is directed toward a First Nations-led initiative, and for the moment, that project is the Kanyenkahaka kanonhses (Mohawk Longhouse) repair GoFund Me .
For the rest of the donations, they’re either determined by the purchaser or (in the case of the 100%ers) they’re sent directly to the project/group specified in the listing. (Remember: for more information about the donees, you can visit this page.)
For purchases where folks asked us to “choose for them,” we pooled those donations and distributed them evenly among the 7 project choices.
This is an exciting beginning, but there’s still so much we can do. Please share our site, or our instagram feed; buy some pots; and keep being awesome.
xo,
