Every first Friday The Foundry Home Goods contributes 5% of our total sales to a different small-and-mighty community-nominated cause.
We've seen firsthand that some of the most important work towards racial equity, environmental justice, and vital outreach to humans in need and/or building beauty happens at the community level. We are hoping that these ongoing smaller sum donations will serve as 1:1 investments directly back into our communities where they can have the biggest impact.
As always, if you don't need anything from us, please consider supporting any of our Giving Friday recipients directly!

Several times a year we also dedicate "Foundry Weekends of Giving" where we donate up to 100% of our sales to causes chosen by our Foundry Family OR dictated by the time-sensitive needs of our community. We focus our giving on cash donations, with recipients including Memorial Sloan Kettering Rare Cancers, RAICES, The ACLU, St. Stephen's Human Services, The Tubman Center, The Natural Resources Defense Council, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Honor the Earth, Underdog Rescue, Diverse Daisies, Espwa Berlancia/Middle Ground Haiti, Human Rights Campaign, and The Minneapolis Art Lending Library. Additionally we have supported local schools and charities with in-kind donations for auctions or other development initiatives. If you have suggestions for other worthy causes or would like to discuss our shop values, community principles, or the math behind our donation practices, please reach out at [email protected].
