5% of proceeds go to charity
We believe in making good things and doing good things! For that reason, Friday Pattern Company donates 5% of all proceeds to a rotating collection of the top-ranked charities in the world. See the list below for information on each organization and which Friday pattern supports their cause.
Against Malaria Foundation
The Against Malaria Foundation distribute long-lasting insecticidal nets to populations at high risk for malaria, an infectious disease that kills half a million people every year (and sickens 400 million more). Each net costs approximately $5, lasts for three to four years, and protects two people on average. GiveWell, a nonprofit that evaluates charitable giving, has estimated that for every $3,000 spent on these nets, one life is saved. What’s more, every $1m spent fighting malaria efficiently improves the GDP of Africa by $12m. In short, AMF offers one of the single most powerful, cost-effective ways of reducing human death and suffering.

Give Directly
Give Directly transfers cash to households in extreme poverty via mobile phone-linked payment services.

What's more, over 90% of every dollar raised goes directly to families in need. Givewell, a nonprofit that evaluates charitable giving, has named GiveDirectly as one a "top charity" for the past five years. So far they have raised over 100 million dollars to help lift families in Uganda and Kenya out of poverty.
