Pillar Four: Giving Back
Giving Back- supporting worthy causes:
But who is my community?
My community is autistics, and other neurodivergent groups.
My community is the mentally ill.
My community is the people who love nature more than themselves.
I have chosen two non-profits to support with a portion of my proceeds:
ASAN (autistic self advocay network) and VOTK (valley of the kings sanctuary and retreat).
ASAN helps adult autistics to be involved in the conversations about their care, etc.
VOTK serves as a place for exotic animals to retire to and for animals that have been imprinted by humans to have a forever home and to save domestic animals that had nowhere else to go.
From physical products on the website, I am designating 5% of the product subtotal (before shipping charges and sales taxes) to go towards donations.
From digital products on the website, I am designating 20% of the product subtotal (before sales taxes) to go towards donations.
Any physical or digital products sold through a crowdfunding campaign, do not put any monies aside for donations as it is against Kickstarter Rules to fundraise or donate any of the funds from backers on their platform.
