Our Story
Java Mama Boutique is more than an online store. Our founder, Annie, opened up this Etsty shop initially because she wanted to generate some extra spending money doing something fun and creative. Fast forward to 2023 - Our little boutique has now evolved into a great big opportunity for good. Let me explain...
Our shop partners with charities to assist in bringing awareness and raising money for their cause. We love supporting people and the causes that we believe in. So how does it work? I'm so glad you asked!
When we partner with a charity, we design products that align with its mission. Typically that's three designs, on one or more products. We also conduct interviews when possible and feature the charity in our newsletter. We share the charity's information and the products for purchase on our social media pages, and we provide links for them to do the same. The products created will raise awareness and funds for their cause, as 25% of the profits are sent each month as a donation.
This business model is so much fun for the Java Mama Team. We love creating new designs that inspire people to rise up and effect change. The best part is that we get to be involved in supporting those who are out there making a difference. We are assisting these organizations in providing access to clean water, food, shelter, and education to children in at-risk areas. We are assisting in the rehabilitation of veterans, giving to animal shelters and churches.. and guess what.. YOU are too. Our customers are the reason why we have the privilege of serving others. You are not just buying a bag, t-shirt, mug, or blanket.. you are supporting a cause - giving to those in need, providing hope, and sharing love.
Thank you for partnering with us as we continue our mission of doing good.
