At the beginning of this year I set out to donate one set of items a week to charity. I often get several requests for donations every year and thought that 52 would be feasible. However, giving stuff away is harder than I thought it would be. I have given several donations to charitable groups and have more lined up for later in the year, but am falling far short of my goal.
So I have decided to offer charitable listings in my Etsy shop. These listings will be available for purchase and the entire purchase price-- minus the shipping-- will be donated to the buyer's charity of choice. The buyer will get the jewelry-- to keep for themselves or give as a gift-- and they will also get the satisfaction of knowing that the money they have spent is going towards a good cause.
My only restrictions on this are that the charities have to be legitimate-- preferably an established group that is registered as a non-profit-- and if it is a political group, it has to be one that I too support. I don't want my time and energy going towards something I do not agree with. Please respect this condition.
I am hopeful that in this way I can still meet my goal for the year. I am determined to make all 52 donations that I committed myself to at the beginning of the year.
