Since the inception of MAP Merch Shop, our mission has been to help MAPs show pride in their orientation, and to give back to the MAP community. Over the last two years, our vendors have had the opportunity to donate their profits to MAP spaces and organizations. As I was the head of MMS, I chose to retain most of the profits from my vendor shop as a stipend. Now that I have passed MAP Merch Shop to a new owner, and my personal financial situation is in a better place, it’s time that I, too, donate my profits.
Starting today, I will be donating nearly all of the profits from the Katie Cruz shop on MAP Merch Shop to children’s and MAP organizations. You will now see a new dropdown on most of my items that lets you choose which organization you would like to donate to.
You can view a list and description of the organizations that the MAP Merch Shop vendors have chosen to support on the Giving Back page.
