We believe that success is meant to be shared. Thus, we return a minimum of 1% of revenue to secular nonprofit organizations in our 1% for Good program.
Please nominate your favorite charity in the comment section below. Listing their website URL (if they have one) will help us explore how they help the world. We will accept nominations until December 15.
We will choose charities based on their relevancy to our business mission and their impact per fundraising dollar. We will announce the 2009 1% for Good recipients on December 20.
BONUS! This year we will award a prize pack of an OLovesM Nancy Purse ($45.99), 18 ounce Klean Kanteen ($20.15) and Jess Bee Natural Lip Balm ($3.00) to one random nominator. Fill in the email field of the comment box (we will never share it) so we can find you if you win.

I nominate Bead for Life — eradicating poverty one bead at a time. Women helping women.
http://www.beadforlife.org/5donate.html
Donations to BeadforLife go directly towards eradicating poverty in Uganda. 93 cents of every dollar is invested in community development work fighting extreme poverty, including projects in health care, vocational training for out-of-school youth, affordable housing, and entrepreneurial skills development.
I nominate OEFFA! Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association.
The Ohio Ecological Food & Farm Association (OEFFA) is a membership-based, grassroots organization, dedicated to promoting and supporting sustainable, ecological, and healthful food systems. What members have in common is an interest in creating and maintaining a food system that is good for people, good for the earth, and good for the future.
