May Donation
Here are the details of the donation made from May pattern sales.
The Proceeds
In May, digital pattern sales totaled $42.85. After I pay the designers their portion, I am left with $16.28. The transaction fees from those orders totaled $3.16. Which leaves $13.12
The summer months are always slower, so I am expecting the donation amount to be lower, too.Â
The Donations
For May I've selected to make a donation to Loose Ends, an organization that matches volunteer handwork finishers with projects left undone due to death, illness, or disability to ease grief, create community, and inspire generosity.
Loose Ends
The idea for Loose Ends came about when the founders, Jennifer Simonic and Masey Kaplan, both avid knitters, realized they had a shared experience: Friends would often ask them to finish blankets, sweaters, or other projects left undone by deceased loved ones.Â
I made a $15 donation to Loose Ends from the May pattern sale proceeds. I also made a contribution of $2.55 to Zeffy, the processing company for a total of $17.55.
The more digital pattern sales I have, the more and bigger donations I get to make. Â
