About the Partners for Change Program

We're trying to prove a point: that the well being of economic and ecological systems, and the well being of both humans and other living things, are compatible. We're also trying to acknowledge that we're wired to cooperate. And what greater project do we have to cooperate on than making the world better for all of us?

To that end, we provide financial support to community partner organizations working to create lasting, positive solutions to some of our societies' and planet's most compelling environmental, social and humanitarian problems. We're not just looking to have purely transactional relationships with a few good causes, but instead to create real and lasting partnerships that expand the reach of both parties. Operating in conjunction with our community partners we have the potential to innovate together, in service of changing the world for the better.

Through a unique point-of-sale process involving customer choice and participation, 2 percent of every sale will be directed to an environmental, social, or humanitarian charitable organization. For one week- Monday November 30 through Sunday December 6- we will be directing 10% (instead of 2%) to our Partners for Change. These contributions will be made to pre-selected organizations, in an approach to giving that differs not only in the amount, but also in the direct involvement of our customers in the decision-making process. When you purchase our product via nau.com we'll invite you to determine where our donations are directed. At the time of each and every purchase, you'll be introduced to our community partners, and asked to examine what you really care about, and where you would like to help effect change. Additionally, when we sell our product to our retail partners, 2 percent of those sales will also be donated to our community partners in a manner that mirrors the choices our customers make at nau.com.
