Who we are
Charitable Prints is a BIPOC family-owned/operated print shop in Central California and a new, growing community of artists from around the world. We want to make a difference in the world through the talents we've been given - the ability to make printworthy art.
Our Why
The ongoing crisis in Gaza left us feeling desperate - we wanted to help, but we weren't sure how. So, after much thinking and brainstorming, we decided to put our expertise in print to use to help the people of Palestine. Our two other small businesses in the printing service/retail space are what make doing Charitable Prints possible. Those businesses are financially fueling Charitable Prints in its genesis, and they are what will enable us to give such large portions of every sale now and ongoing.
Our Mission
Charitable Prints' mission is to raise funds for non-profits providing humanitarian aid to our select causes via art print sales.
Our Efforts
The non-profits we support provide humanitarian aid (i.e. food, water, shelter, medical care, medical supplies, etc.) to people caught in specific crisis around the world. For sure 40% of every sale will be donated to select non-profits for each cause. 30% will go to each artist (artists have the option to donate some or all of their portion which equates to the 70% figure - though this is not a requirement) and finally, 30% of each sale will go toward production and costs. This 30% portion will cover costs of doing business (i.e. website fees, software subscriptions, employee wages/labor, machines, etc.), materials (i.e. fine art paper, packaging, ink, etc.), marketing (i.e. paid ads, email marketing), shipping where applicable, etc. If and when Charitable Prints' 30% portion exceeds what's needed to keep the business running, we will also donate the excess each month. To maintain transparency, we share total sales made each month and our monthly donation receipts.
Thank You!
Giving to others brings us joy, so being able to host and run Charitable Prints truly is a dream for us. So, thank you for being here! We're grateful that TOGETHER with you, we can make a difference in so many lives!
You are so appreciated! <3
