The Fair Indigo Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve educational opportunities for children in the Peruvian communities where our cotton is grown, our alpacas are herded, and our products are made. The Foundation is funded by donations and by the support of Fair Indigo, which covers 100% of administrative and fundraising costs. That means every penny donated goes directly to supporting schools, teachers, and kids.
Donation to FI Foundation
Every penny of your contribution will be used toward paying teachers, buying books & computer equipment, and making improvements to school buildings and playgrounds. To say your generosity is appreciated is an enormous understatement. These kids, their families, and their communities have been literally transformed because of it.
Though a $5 donation may seem like a modest gesture, it has done a world of good for our adopted schools in Peru. You can donate any amount above or be able to do so during your checkout process.
