When I started NOTO, I had a vision to include not only a product that brought joy to those who used It, but also navigating what a business model that was vocal and action orientated about the causes that I and my community may care about.  It is always best to donate directly to the pockets of those you wish to support, I do believe this and practice this within my means. And as a business, I wanted to directly support causes as well. It is imperative to incorporate giving back to to best of our means at NOTO. That ability has shifted and grown as we have shifted and grown as a company. We are a small team, locally hand made, but we do feel mighty in growing towards giving back. Creating a product that specifically focuses on that has been one of the most beautiful things about the day to day in running NOTO.  Thank you to those who have supported this journey and evolution with us and for those who have helped up give back.
