Designed by Bridget Coleman (@bridget_coleman), our Pride line of patches benefits people fleeing persecution based on their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Bridget’s inspiration for this design:
“This design started out as a doodle almost a year ago when I finally started watching The L Word. Queer media and art have helped me accept and love my sexuality. I grew up thinking maybe it wasn’t ok for me to be gay, although I felt it was ok for others. So this design was self-validating and a reminder to anyone else that needs to hear it, that it’s ok to be gay! Don’t let society, a close-minded community, or any being anywhere tell you otherwise.”
Where your money goes
We donate 1% of each sale to nonprofits that we select and vet. You can read more about our process in the Proceeds and Donations FAQs.
We also share 10% of the sale with the artist that designed each patch (when it is designed by an external artist or designer).
This all means that our impact is not based on our profit margin - it's baked into each sale so you can rest assured your purchase is making a difference.
Impact
Our impact strategy is focused on getting funds to the frontlines of change, to grassroots leaders and organizations that are from the communities they serve. These changemakers are often overlooked by donors despite being incredibly effective at building a better world. Learn more about our impact model and the nonprofits we support.
