Stampin' Up!'s Giving Spirit

From its beginning, Stampin' Up! co-founder, Shelli Gardner, felt it was very important to make giving back a priority. And through the years Stampin' Up! has been involved in many worthwhile causes. In addition to being an international sponsor of the Ronald McDonald House Charities, Stampin' Up! has donated money to September 11, tsunami, and wildfire relief funds, as well as breast cancer research and heart health. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of discontinued product are donated to nonprofit organizations every year.

Last week, Shelli was asked to appear on the Today Show because of Stampin' Up!'s charitable giving including the show's Holiday Toy Drive. This year, Stampin' Up! is donating over $150,000 worth of stamping and paper crafting products to the following organizations:

  • Child S.H.A.R.E.
  • A Place Called Home
  • Alliance for Children's Rights
  • Children's Hospital
  • El Concilio Del Condado de Ventura
  • St. Joseph Center
  • Yolo Wayfarer Center Christian Mission
  • Metro Atlanta Task Force on the Homeless
  • ARC of Bergen and Passaic Counties
  • Women in Need
  • ARMS
  • Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless
  • Housing Works
  • All Children's House Family Center
  • Cathedral Community Cares
  • Catholic Big Brothers and Sisters

It's just nice to know that Stampin' Up! truly believes in doing the right thing for all the right reasons!
