exit343design donates: the first half of 2024!

Hello friends of exit343design! This post comes a little later than usual, but better late than never, right? I want to let you know about the exit343design sticker donation from the first half of 2024! I ran the numbers for it in July, but didn't execute the donation until October.

As small business owners and creators, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle of growing our brand and generating income. But what if your success could also help support your community in meaningful ways? That’s the idea behind donating a portion of sticker sales to local causes—a simple act that can have a ripple effect of positive change.

Each year, I donate to PAWS Philly, a local no-kill shelter, on behalf of exit343design. Earlier this year, I did send them a huge batch of pet-themed ornaments for them to use how they see fit. But as for the 5% of sticker sales, I did something a little different than usual . . .

Crebilly Farm is located in Chester County, PA off of 202. The local non-profit Natural Lands is a key player in preserving this open space and they put out a call to the area in a huge fundraising push. What was at stake? 300+ acres of land to be permanently preserved and available to the public to enjoy. Well folks- they did it! Natural Lands reached their fundraising goal and a small part of that is thanks to your sticker-buying habits. I had $698.88 to spend, but rounded up to $700 for the final donation:

This cause was really important to me and I thank you, my rad customers, for allowing me to do these donations. When Crebilly is at long last open to the public, you can visit and know that you made a contribution towards its existence!

Since exit343design introduced stickers in 2018, we have committed to donating 5% of ALL sales (retail & wholesale!) to Philly PAWS and other local animal welfare organizations. Want to support the cause and grab a sticker? Check them out here!
