Charity driven business
Hey everyone! I’m in the process of building a small t-shirt business whose value proposition is to donate a certain % (tbd) to fund the education of underprivileged children in the Himalayan region. As most of you know, poverty in third world countries is drastically different from what we call poverty here in America. Being a Sherpa and having my roots in the Himalayas gives me a sense of responsibility and purpose to help those that are not as fortunate as me.
The idea is to design contemporary, minimalistic tees that look cool to wear. I’ve noticed there are a few brands out there that have similar motives and that’s great! However, I haven’t seen anything that I personally would wear because most products have bold logos that make it obvious that you’re charitable. In today’s world it seems like everybody wants to show off everything they have and everything they do. The goal here is to be charitable when you purchase a tee from us but also remain subtle with it.
The reason I’m writing here is to gauge what you all think about it. I’ve done some research among people I know and they all seem to think it’s a good idea. I want to know what a stranger feels about it. Every single one of you that’s reading this, I’m interested to know what YOU think about this idea. So if you have the time, please provide any feedback you may have - no matter how harsh it may seem! All is welcome. Thanks for your time y’all.
Peace and love.
