The Catbird Giving Fund

Since Day 1, before we could really afford it, Catbird has always been a charitable company. (See below for The Catbird Mets!) We vote as a company on what organizations to support.

At least 1% of all sales, year round, are donated to non-profits aligned with our core beliefs of equality and helping others. (We choose to focus on the percentage of sales - as opposed to profits or proceeds - so there is full transparency.) 

Here is a list of some of the organizations we have been giving to recently. This list - and the amounts - are always growing thanks to your support.

The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. is America’s premier legal organization fighting for racial justice.
