How We Give Back To Communities
As a business, we feel there is a social responsibility to give back to communities. 10% of the net profit from orders will be donated to a 501(c)(3) registered charity (Charity must be U.S. based). If you have a specific charity or cause that speaks to you, feel free to suggest it to us for our donation. (Please check below to see which charities qualify).
*Note: We reserve the right to donate proceeds from an order to a different charity that was not suggested by the customer. This is a very rare occurrence. Check the FAQ below to see why this may happen.*
FAQ
Q: "How can I suggest a charity?"
A: When you add an item to your cart, type the name in the "Add Note" section at the bottom of the cart.
Or if you forgot to add it when you placed an item in your cart, at checkout, click the blue bag in the top corner and type the name in the "Add Note" box.
Q: "What charities do you donate to?"
A: We donate to any 501(c)(3) organization located in the United States that does not have a cause that is viewed as "strongly political". We know "strongly political" is subjective, so here are examples of a few causes we define as "strongly political".
- Causes that are related to Pro-Life/Pro-Choice
- Causes that focus on Pro/Anti Guns
- Any PAC or organization that donates to a specific person/political party
- Any organization that is registered to, or donates to, foreign political parties
- Organizations that focus on drugs or drug laws (Addiction/Rehab/Counseling organizations are ok)
If there is an organization that you have to contemplate if it will be considered "strongly political", there's a good chance it will be ok. In the rare instance a suggestion is made to a charity that does not qualify, we will reach out to you and ask if there is any other charity you would suggest. The most common organizations suggested relate to animal welfare, environmental preservation, or medical research/hospitals.
Q: "Will I get a donation receipt?"
A: Customers will not receive any kind of donation receipt. Since the donation is a portion of our net profit, and not an added fee/charge to your order, all donations will be made in the name of Vibe and Decor.
Q: "What happens if I don't add a charity name?"
A: If a charity is not suggested, we reserve the right to choose where the donation goes.
Q: "When do you donate the proceeds?"
A: We make the donation once the return period, for an item or entire order, has passed. Once the sale is final, we will make the donation.
