Quarter One Impact Report
Share
Dear friends and furr-iends,
Our first quarterly Impact Report is here! In our first three months of operations, we sold fifteen (15) items, which means we were able to donate $15.00 to our partner rescue Pet Adoption Network (plus $0.95 in processing fees)!!!!
This type of impact is exactly why we founded this business--to help contribute to local grassroots organizations that do the down and dirty work of animal rescue. We want to invest in groups that have direct, tangible impacts in our community.
Remember that we pledge to donate a dollar from EVERY ITEM sold to our current partner group. We don't just donate a percentage or two, or even a dollar from each sale; we donate a dollar from every single item sold in our shop, so that we are able to maximize what we are able to donate to our partner rescues.
Our long term goal is to be able to shift from a quarterly to a monthly sales period in order to triple the number of organizations with whom we can partner. This will involve addressing several fundamental aspects of our business model which is very scary to think about, and lord knows it'll take time--but we can't wait to grow this community-centered business with you guys!
Gratefully yours,
Chickpea (& her human)
P.S. big shout out to our first customers who were so patient with us while we figured out how to navigate the online sales process in real time. This learning curve was STEEP.
