Giving By Design offers graphic illustration and graphic design services with a charitable twist. A collaboration among members of the Etsy Digital Designers Team, this shop has fundraising as its fundamental purpose – so you get the expert imagery and graphics services you're looking for, while a charity receives sorely-needed funds!

Each member of the Giving By Design shop is an active Etsy shop owner in the design or illustration fields who has a charity that's close to his or her heart. As we establish our presence as a cooperative shop, we'll be expanding our giving to benefit a variety of different groups and causes, which we'll list here.

Our primary project, however, is to aid other small business owners and artists who have the entrepreneurial spirit to begin their own ventures, but don't have the resources. We do this through making microfinance loans. Via the nonprofit organization Kiva, we connect to entrepreneurs in 73 countries all over the globe and provide them with startup funds to develop businesses that will help support themselves and their families. Kiva microloans will be our first project in 2014.

Thank you for visiting Giving By Design for your graphics, stationery, printables, digital supplies, and more. We hope you'll find a style to love in our large, ever-changing selection. Feel free to contact us with questions, or join the Giving By Design lending team on Kiva!
