Connecting with our community is really important to us— we wouldn’t be doing this job-that-we-love today if it weren’t for the support of our incredible found family. Collaborating with organizations and being able to fundraise with our work is our favorite, and something we’re grateful to be able to do.
Since 2024, we’ve donated 5% of our total shop profits to mutual aid organizations and directly to Trans people who need it*. We’re really just coping with the current state of the world by trying to help.
*How’s that work?
Each month we’ll calculate our total revenue from curlworks.net/shop & Etsy, subtract expenses (production, fulfillment & transaction fees), and 5% of that net profit will be donated to organizations, mutual aid funds, or directly to the folks they’re advocating for.
Some of our favorites include:
Stick Together is a collaborative washi tape collection that we put together in 2023 to help trans kids and their families struggling with anti-trans legislation in the United States. All proceeds from these tapes were donated to the Trans Youth Emergency Project.
Our talented collaborators include: Houndsaint, Camp Mustelid, STABLERCAKE, Motel 777, Jill Kittock, Dior the Artist, Dane Smith, Abbey Martin, KT Chidgey, and Alena Mcdonald.
For Pride 2024 we worked with TIGERRS (Transgender, Intersex, Gender-Expansive Revolutionary Resources & Services), our local collective that works to support our local community. We designed, sourced, and sold, and shipped the shirts, and raised over $5100.
In 2022 we designed and produced this bluebird patch raised over $1000 for The Trevor Project.
In 2023 we raised funds for Campaign for Southern Equality.
