Donations

We donate 50% of profits to local environmental organisations and projects in the Northern Rivers.

We want people chatting about the health of ecosystems across the Northern Rivers over a beer at the pub or during a morning walk on the beach.

Donation FAQs

  • Good question. It’s pretty simple really:

    Revenue
    minus Business expenses (website hosting, POS capability etc)
    minus Stock, manufacturing & shipping expenses/venue hire for events
    equals Profits

    Note: we don’t pay ourselves a wage.

  • It’s on a case by case basis, really. If there’s an organisation or specific project that aligns with our mission, then we’ll send them some love.

  • If you’ve got a Northern Rivers focused environmental organisation, event, or project thats looking for some additional funds, feel free to swing us an email and we’ll see what we can do :)
