Give Back 15

---

Sixty years ago, clothing was made to last a lifetime. People bought less, kept longer, and donated sparingly. Volume was manageable, stores were local, and the model worked.

That world changed. Fast fashion turned clothing into something disposable. Donation volumes have exploded beyond what any organization can manage within the old structure. The system has not failed from lack of effort or generosity. It has simply been outgrown.

The result is donated clothing that never reaches the people it was meant for, waste on a scale that would shock most donors, and nonprofits sitting on inventory they have no capacity to move.

We bring resale expertise directly to nonprofits, turning donated clothing overflow into real revenue streams they could never access on their own.

Donors choose a nonprofit they care about, ship their clothing to us with a prepaid label, and we handle everything. The proceeds go directly to their chosen organization. Nothing is skimmed. Nothing disappears.

No specific nonprofit in mind? Donate to Give Back 15 directly and your clothing goes to work for the greater good. Give Back 15 is itself a registered charity and a worthy destination for anyone who simply wants their donation to do the most good possible.

Our long-term vision is giveback15.com, a dedicated marketplace where every purchase directly supports a named nonprofit. Quality secondhand clothing at prices below the resale market, with 100% of proceeds going to charity.

Clothing that stays in circulation is clothing that stays out of landfills. Give Back 15 keeps donated garments moving toward people who want them, with a projected 90-95% sell-through rate.

 Give Back 15 is operational today. Our founding partnership with The Gubbio Project in San Francisco is live, with inventory processed, listed, and generating revenue for a nonprofit serving the homeless community. This is the model. It works. And it is ready to scale.
