Social Causes

Plural believes there is more than one reason to be successful. For us, one of the primary reasons is to have the ability to have a positive impact on society. Here are some of the favorite social causes that our partners and we support. Most of all, we are guided by doing the right thing – every time.

Pipeline Worldwide

Based on the needs voiced by local leaders, Pipeline Worldwide is the conduit for facilitating connections between donors and vulnerable communities in East Africa. Pipeline acts as an impact catalyst for providing funding, time, and resources for projects that deliver access to clean water, sanitation, education, and healthcare in the most impoverished regions.

Plural is proud to support Pipeline Worldwide by donating designer textiles for tote bags sold on the Pipeline website to raise funds for their projects. The purchase of a tote is so much more than a donation. These bags provide the funding to educate women through an Adult Literacy Program and empower vulnerable women at St. Monica’s Vocational School to use their newly-acquired sewing training to produce bags and blankets for birthing centers in Northern Uganda.

Plural Co-Founder Barbara Brandt is privileged to serve on the Board of Directors for Pipeline Worldwide.

One Tree Planted

Plural Studios is dedicated to creating a sustainable business that protects our natural environment. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every product we sell, allowing our customers to contribute to global reforestation.

Planting trees is one of the best ways to combat the damaging effects of climate change. Trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat to over 80 percent of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. Plural also knows that trees provide tremendous social impacts by providing jobs to over 1.6 billion people, empowering women in underdeveloped nations, and supporting communities devastated by environmental damage.

One Tree Planted projects span the globe and are done in partnership with local communities and knowledgeable experts to create an impact for nature, people, and wildlife. Reforestation helps to rebuild forests after fires and floods, provide jobs for social impact, and restore biodiversity. Many projects have overlapping objectives, creating a combination of benefits that contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. To learn more, visit onetreeplanted.org
