August Donations
Here are the details of the donation made from August pattern sales.
The Proceeds
In August, digital pattern sales totaled $71.92 After I pay the designers their portion, I am left with $28.77. The transaction fees from those orders totaled $3.39. Which leaves $25.38
August is still a summer month, a bit slower, but it's starting to pick up.
The Donations
The August proceeds have been donated to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. In their 31 years they have donated over300,000,000 books, and the program is now available in five countries.
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library
Dolly created the Imagination Library as a tribute to her father. Dolly said her father was a brilliant man, but had never learned to read, and that had held him back. She started just wanting to inspire kids in her home county to read, and now the program sends over three million books to children each month.
I made a donation of $26.00 on their website, rounding up the math from the calculations above.
The more digital pattern sales I have, the more and bigger donations I get to make.
