January Donations
I have decided to donate the proceeds of all digital pattern sales to organizations with missions that align with my values. I wrote in more detail about that earlier. I have made the donations from January's pattern sales, and here are the details.
The Proceeds
In January, digital pattern sales totaled $154.81. After I pay the designers their portion, I am left with $61.92. The transaction fees from those orders totaled $9.62. Which leaves $52.31
The Donations
I chose two organizations this time that are doing important and urgent work that is very much needed right now.
Immigration Legal Resource Center (ILRC)
The ILRC seeks to improve immigration law and policy, expand the capacity of legal service providers, and advance immigrant rights. They train attorneys, paralegals, and community-based advocates who work with immigrants around the country. They inform the media, elected officials, and public to shape effective and just immigration policy and law. Their staff works with grassroots immigrant organizations to promote civic engagement and social change.
VEAP
VEAP is the Twin Cities’ (Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota) largest food pantry, providing access to healthy foods, social services, and financial assistance. They take a holistic approach to program delivery together with its strategic partners to build a stronger community.
