# Beneficent Bijoux Jewelry for a Cause Supports Charity Fundraising Projects By Andrew Robertson | Published 2012-06-20 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jewelry-for-a-cause References: [jewelryforacause.net](http://www.jewelryforacause.net/about-us/) In 2008 former lawyer Jessica Mindich began Jewelry for a Cause, a company that focuses on making [beautiful fashion accessories for charity fundraising](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birks-for-bees). Mindich initially donated her jewelry to various charities and schools who would then sell the items to raise profits for their own fundraising projects. As the items gained more attention and popularity people began to buy them directly from Jessica Mindich for themselves or as gifts. In these cases Mindich would donate 20% of the proceeds to a charity of her client's choice. Jewelry for a Cause has raised over $300,000 for over 300 schools. With the new Glam for Good company that Jessica launched, the company is taking the glitz and glamor of diamonds to create astounding accessories to raise even more money for charitable causes throughout the world. **Contact Information** Jewelry for a Cause [website](http://www.jewelryforacause.net/about-us/) Jewelry for a Cause on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jewelry-For-A-Cause/359617744747) Jewelry for a Cause on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/#!/Jforacause) Jewelry for a Cause on [Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/jforacause/) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Charitable Fashion Accessories:** Creating fashion accessories that support charity fundraising projects. - **Glamorous Fundraising Accessories:** Using diamonds and glitz to raise money for charitable causes. - **Direct Sales for Charity:** Selling jewelry directly to customers and donating a portion of proceeds to a charity of their choice. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunities to design and produce jewelry and accessories that support charitable causes. - **Nonprofit Fundraising:** Collaborating with jewelry companies to create fundraising initiatives that generate donations for charitable organizations. - **Diamond Jewelry:** Exploring partnerships with jewelry designers to create glamorous accessories that raise funds for charitable causes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Women-Designed Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaillard-jewelry.md) - [Breast Cancer Awareness Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olaeda-hopeful-heart-bracelet-for-breast-cancer-awareness.md) - [Empowering Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empowering-jewelry.md) - [Charitable Jewelry Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anne-sportun-x-the-love-club.md) - [International Jewelry-Focused Digital Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeweler-collective.md) - [Recycled Gold Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-gold-jewelry.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Pollinator-Supporting Jewelry Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birks-for-bees.md) - [Feminine Graceful Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sarahbijoux.md)
