Portion Donated

It’s helpful to know how much of your purchase goes towards a charitable foundation. Luckily, most brands make it clear on their website. For example, Hey Dewy donates 10 percent of sales, while companies like Bombas, Warby Parker, and Thinx have a “buy one, give one” model where for every item you buy, another is given to someone in need. Other brands simply share the foundations they support yearly and often have a number of contributions. Clarity is always best when looking for brands’ social impact, so it’s worth it to do some research into a brand’s mission and the charities they support. Remember, you can also donate directly to organizations you support so you know exactly where your money is going.

Budget

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to give back this holiday season. Sites like GiftCards.com let you choose the size of your gift starting at just $25. We’re happy to share multiple gifting options that do good and cost less than $20. The same goes for donations. Any amount can make a difference, so spend what you have when it comes to gifting, it’s not about how much you spend, but how thoughtful and personal the gift is.
