My overall goal with ECOccasion is to fund scholarships for students studying for careers in sustainability. I believe the time has come to discontinue producing products that harm the environment and also to shift the environmental responsibility off of the consumer and onto the companies that produce them.
So, what I've done is added a "Tip" feature to the checkout page. When you leave a tip, it goes into a fund that supports sustainable design graduates at my alma mater, Minneapolis College of Art and Design
Your donation fuels career-building webinars, alumni mentorships, inspiring speaker events, and essential scholarships for MA in Sustainable Design students. Every contribution, big or small, drives meaningful opportunities for students dedicated to creating a sustainable future.
