NaSHEville: Clothing for a Cause
Women's apparel and event company that celebrates sisterhood & gives back to orphans, widows & trafficked women.
Project Description
- We are a women's apparel and event company that celebrates sisterhood & gives back to orphans, widows & trafficked women. Through product sales, fundraisers, and event proceeds, we financially support non-profits serving one of our three missions. Through community events and lifestyle content we pour into women of all walks in all cities in order to engage, empower, and encourage all in our SHE network.
- We are raising awareness, advocacy, and funds and fostering community support for issues plaguing women and children in our city and beyond.
- Our market is any and all who have a heart for, have been personally affected by, or have a loved one who has suffered trial from adoption/foster care, being widowed, or being sexually abused or trafficked. As a primarily online platform, the market has no limit. As a localized event facilitator, our reach can go as far as any other cities wanting to serve and join our community.
- Our products are a walking billboard, an opportunity for all who wear them to put on a campaign for and financially play a part in serving the victims of our missions. Our events raise additional funds, awareness, and opportunities for personal investment and engagement with the specific non-profits serving our missions.
- We are an LLC operating as a social enterprise company. Without additional funding for operation expenses, product development and production, and service expansion and outreach, we can't generate the revenue that fundamentally supports our non-profit partners. In our first year, we were able to give back and fundraise just under $300,000 working from a start up total of $35,000. With $100,000 to support our second year of growth, we can give back and serve exponentially more women and children and expand our work outside the Nashville city limits and into other markets.
- Currently ,our team is just us, Mattie and Brooke, the two co-founders handling all NaSHEville operations.
- We want to offer a HUGE thank you in advance for all the women making opportunities like this for small, female businesses possible. Our company is truly a vehicle for the issues closest to our hearts, and your part in helping it grow will translate into hope and help for so many women beyond our current reach.
