Through our Care For the Continents Program, you will earn 40 percent towards your goal*  while being a vital partner to families around the world.

Shades of Us works with economic development projects in poverty stricken areas.  These projects train and employ disadvantaged parents, especially widows and single mothers.  Thanks to your fundraising efforts, you provide sustainable incomes for families, giving them the tools they need to care for their children.

Hand in hand you will work together with your project to impact both of your communities!

*Earnings are based on our suggested retail price.  Individual groups may set their own pricing.  All fundraisers must directly benefit children in some capacity.  Individuals or groups wishing to sell these items in support of our projects may contact us about our Advocacy Program.

How It Works:

1.  Choose the handcrafted items you want to sell.  

2.  Placing your order:  Only your shipping fees are required in advance when you place your order.  Our goal is to give you reasonable time to sell a portion of your products before the remaining balance is due.  Thirty days from the day your items are shipped, your method of payment will be processed.  Please place your orders accordingly!

We offer invoicing for non-profit groups or larger quantities.  Please contact Sarah at Shades of Us to set up your account.  Lead times for large quantities may vary based on the items you are requesting.

 

 

 

3.  Publicity Tools:   Download our project information for your items.  We recommend that you make a display board to include your fundraising purpose along with the project you are supporting.  Visual tools, especially photographs, are very effective in helping you reach your goals, while educating others about the families you are helping in the process.
