Throughout the past year, several noteworthy charitable business endeavors have taken center stage. This breakdown highlights some of the year's most unique charitable efforts. From COVID-19 release funds to grassroots organization donations, these endeavors showcase the good in humanity.
One notable endeavor comes from RulalaCreations' handmade embroidery shop. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the Palestinian-owned retailer has been selling handmade masks. All mask proceeds are donated to Beit Al Baraka, a Lebanese charity that provides social programs for families in need.
Another ongoing charity organization is the 'Charity Pot Program' by Lush Cosmetics. One hundred percent of proceeds from the 'Charity Pot Program' products are donated to small grassroots organizations to support 1,850 projects in North America and 950 others around the globe. In November 2020, Lush Cosmetics raised $50 million through its 'Charity Pot Program.'
