Support Your Local

Our latest release is in the spirit of generosity and making a difference, and we're sharing how we give back to our community and providing you with some resources so that you can do so in your own way.

Every year, we give 20-30% of our profits to causes we believe in. This year we’re spreading the word because we believe in generosity and its power to affect change — especially when it comes to small, local organizations with specific and heartfelt objectives.

“Unlike a modern money transaction, which is closed and leaves no obligation, a gift transaction is open-ended, creating an ongoing tie between the participants.”

— Charles Eisenstein

We also took some time to ask some of our friends how and why they give — here's what they had to say:

Tippy Tippens, Goods That Matter + The Good Shop

Philly Santosuosso, Humidity

Patti Dunn, Tchoup Industries

Ashlee Jones, Smallchalk + Just Cause

When you shop at DNO, know that a portion of the proceeds are always going somewhere good. This year, we've had the joy of giving to several great organizations doing important work — here are some of them:

BreakOUT!

BreakOUT! seeks to end the criminalization of LGBTQ youth to build a safer and more just New Orleans.

Electric Girls

Electric Girls builds girls' confidence and capabilities by engaging them through STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).
