CHOSEN CHARITIES
Shop for a better world.
Winniefred is built on the desire to see change in real time. Taking a philanthropic approach to capitalism by directly donating to various charities with every purchase. For example, if 200 candles sell in January $200 dollars will be donated to Polar Bears International!
Every item you buy has the donation built into the price, and at the end of each month the decided charity is gifted that donation. You can feel good about buying that luxury item knowing that your purchase is slowly but surely changing the world. :)
The charities are picked based on their scores on Charity Watch and Charity Navigator. We aim for nonprofits with A- to A+ scores, but are of course open to smaller lesser known charities. We try our best to be diverse and inclusive with our selections and mainly focus on environmental causes.
Note: The schedule starts May 2023 and goes until April 2024.
