Where's the money go?
50% of every dollar received, from the sale of the first item, is given away to organizations who advocate for and help the victims of the war in Iraq--both domestically and in Iraq.
Yes, that means when you purchase a bumper sticker for $3.00, half of that ($1.50) will be donated directly to the organization.
At the startup, these funds are being given to the Iraqi
Children's Art Project and Gold Star Families for Peace.
The original impetus was to help those victimized by the war. The Iraqi Children's Art Project is, like the Peace Ribbon, a locally-based (Western Massachusetts), grassroots effort. Its mission is to raise awareness of and compassion for the innocent Iraqi people across the United States, through the eyes of Iraqi children.
We Continue to donate to The Iraqi Children's Art Project, and invite your input in identifying other worthy organizations in need of support and will monitor our choices regularly as world events change and needs shift. Please contact us with your thoughts.
The remaining 50% is continuing to be used to cover startup and ongoing costs.
