Fair Trade Sports, Inc donates all profits after taxes to children’s charities, both domestically and internationally. Sound familiar? It’s a similar idea to the one behind the Newman’s Own brand.
We expect to reach profitability in late 2008. Until then, we are donating $1000 annually to the organizations listed below, which benefit at-risk children worldwide. Have a favorite charity to suggest? If it’s related to helping kids, then we’re interested. Drop us a line.

Room to Read
Room to Read seeks to intervene early in the lives of children and help provide them with an education and the lifelong gift of literacy.
To increase the likelihood for success, Room to Read enlists community involvement. Our challenge grants require villages to raise a significant portion of the overall expenditure (through donated land, labor, materials and cash) for building a new school, thereby allowing our cash investments to go further so that we can help more villages.
We also establish libraries, computer labs and language labs in conjunction with schools whereby they contribute shelves, desk, and chairs. Our challenge grants act as catalysts for community building while also maximizing the local participation and expertise brought to our programs to ensure they are run efficiently and effectively.

Boys & Girls Club
In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them.
Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. They are truly The Positive Place For Kids. Learn more.
