Small Batch. Big Change. The Changing World of Giving.
Apr 07, 2025
THE PROBLEM
All nonprofits share one thing: a deep drive to make a difference. But passion doesn’t keep the lights on. Sustainable, recurring funding does—and that’s where the traditional model is falling apart.
The old playbook—galas, silent auctions, direct mail, grant cycles—is showing its age. Budgets are shrinking. Donor fatigue is real. Supporters still care, but their discretionary income has dried up. And year after year of asking for support without offering anything in return? That’s exhausting.
Today’s nonprofits are expected to run like businesses—but without the revenue streams to do so. Until we find a way to bring commerce to the cause, the cause will always be chasing crumbs.

THE OPPORTUNITY
Every nonprofit with a mailing list holds something brands spend millions to build—trust and access to a mission-driven community. That’s not just connection. That’s commerce potential.
And in an industry like beauty—where certain products can be designed with healthy margins—the potential for shared impact is huge. Through Small Batch. Big Change., we carefully select and craft limited-run, cause-branded products with enough built-in margin to make a real difference. Instead of spending that margin on bloated ad campaigns, we direct it toward the missions that matter.

OUR SOLUTION
Of course business exists to make a profit. But profit alone is just the floor—not the ceiling. What matters is what we do with it.
When we share profits from Small Batch. Big Change. with our nonprofit partners, it’s not a giveaway—it’s a strategy. It’s how we grow a values-aligned community while fueling causes we believe in. We’re not pouring money into algorithms or shouting into the digital void. We’re building real relationships—with people who care about what we care about.
Here’s how it works: we create exclusive, beautifully made, cause-branded products that people actually want to buy. Our nonprofit partners share them with their supporters. We handle all the logistics, and they receive 100% of the retail profit from every sale. It’s not swag. It’s not charity. It’s commerce with intention. The mission gets funding. The supporter gets meaning. Everyone wins.

WHY IT MATTERS
Business has to make sense. If it doesn’t support the bottom line, it won’t last. But what if profit and purpose weren’t at odds?
What if giving generously could also be good business?
That’s what our Small Batch program proves. By designing intentional products and sharing profit with our cause partners, we’re not just supporting missions—we’re meeting new, like-minded customers through communities that already trust them. It’s not a marketing expense. It’s a movement. And it’s how we turn everyday products into something far bigger than the sum of their parts.
