Last week I did something new around here, for the first time ever, I made a product, and tried to sell it. It was pretty funny, because in all honesty, I wasn’t trying to sell 100 t-shirts to make any money — it was just to make a great product and experience the whole process. Some readers who just joined us might have forgotten that last December I pledged 10% of my sites profits straight to charity. I intend on doing that again this year, hopefully raising the bar for other sites to do the same.

After receiving some loud criticism from readers on the price tag of the Momimomi X Josh Spear T-Shirt, I immediately decided to donate 100% of my profits to a charity that you, the readers of this site, help me choose and decide on.

Here’s the catch: I won’t be lowering the price, but my hope is to help facilitate the giving of a couple thousand dollars this year through the sales of this shirt to those in need. So, if you’d like to make someone’s life better in a developing country, support research on clean water efforts or anything else we’re all passionate about (comment below), as a bonus, get what we think is a brilliant and fun limited edition t-shirt for your contribution.

If you make the donation and get the shirt, please leave comments here or via the feedback form on where you’d like to see the money go.

It is a great shirt and I have already ordered it.

Momimomi’s designs and quality are excellent and I look forward to my TEeaParty shirt arriving each month. Now I am looking forward to my next delivery and the Yuletide shirt arriving (although being in asia it will take a little longer to arrive). I think the pricing is fair and hope that you keep the profit from the sale of my shirt for yourself, after all I enjoy reading your site and it is nice to thank you for that! Don’t apologise for making cool products and making a fair profit.

Cheers,

Justin

Josh-

I’ve been doing the same thing with my design firm. 10% of all profits go directly to charity.

Keep up the good work. It leaves a small mark on a big world.
