Gifting Brands
Gifting Brands was started by a group of retail leaders who found a creative way to solve the problem of excess inventory while making a social impact to charities that help women, children, and families. It's simple, brands donate end of season inventory, we sell on our nonprofit ecommerce site, and 100% of net proceeds goes to charity. Gifting Brands serves as a catalyst for charities that improve the lives of women, children, and families through a unique consumer shopping experience combining the power of upscale retail brands, sustainable inventory solutions, and philanthropy. For consumers: Gifting Brands creates a fun-fulfilling place for you to shop for designer brands at great prices with the power to give back. For communities: Through our select charity partners you are able to directly impact, empower, and support the lives of women, children, and families. For brands: Through our inventory philanthropy model, we give retailers a sustainable, charitable method of managing their inventory, reducing environmental impacts and connecting them with consumers who care.
