Introduction
We donate 5% of our revenue to green and social projects.
We support non-profits related to design as well general non-profits that have a positive impact on the world. In this way, the hard work we put into building and running Brandbook.io will have a bigger impact on the world beyond just making a great product.
2023 Donation
For 2023 we are donating through Doneer Effectief (Donate Effectively).
Doneer Effectief is an independent initiative that makes high impact donating accessible in the Netherlands.
We made a donation for our H1 2023 revenue at the end of Q2. We will make another donation for our H2 2023 revenue at end of Q4.
Here’s how we’re allocating our donation for 2023:
45% — Doneer Effectief Fund: Poverty and Health
This Doneer Effectief fund will use our donation where it can have the most immediate impact in the quarter we make the donation. The money is allocated according to GiveWell’s All Grants Fund.

45% — Future Cleantech Architects
While not visual or brand design, it’s still a form of design we want to support.

10% — Doneer Effectief
We are allocating some our donation to Doneer Effectief so they can keep doing what they’re doing. Note: Doneer Effectief does not require this donation. It was our choice to allocate some of our donation to them.
