3. Cause Marketing Campaigns: Engage in a campaign by aligning your brand with ours and committing to donate a portion of sales during a promotional period, contributing a specific amount for every item sold, initiating a social media campaign tied to charitable actions (e.g., donating a dollar for every like received), and implementing employee workplace giving or payroll deduction (requires a licensing agreement).
