Fae Crate, as both a business and a voice, has grown so quickly in such a short time. We could not be more grateful to each and every person who helped get us to where we are. If there's one thing that the entire team can agree on, it's that it's important to share that success with others.
Of everything we've been able to do since opening in 2018, what we are most proud of is what we have been able to give back into the world. In 2019 we were able to donate $17,561 from profits, donate books and items to multiple charities, and even plant a few trees. We also worked with the bookish community to raise over $9834.93 through your donations.
As time moves forward, we will continue to support those in need, and non-profit organizations whose missions align with our own.
Fae Crate is an openly Pro LGBTQ+, Pro Black Lives Matter, Pro Immigration, Pro Choice, Pro Science, Pro Education and Pro Feminism company. We believe in supporting those who are in need. We believe in Equal Rights for All. We are unapologetically proud of that.
It's important for us to be transparent about who we support with your help. The following Organizations & Causes have all received either funds or item donations from Fae Crate since opening. We wouldn't have been able to do so without each and every one of you.

The Mahogany Project
The Mahogany Project, Inc. (TMP, Inc.) was founded in 2017 by Verniss McFarland, III, in Houston, TX. TMP, Inc. sparked after the death of Chyna Gibson, a Black woman of trans-experience who was shot in New Orleans on February 25. Chyna was a much-loved performer in the pageantry community who was visiting friends and family in New Orleans at the time of her death. That year 30 individuals of transgender experience (that we know of ) died of anti-trans violence. That year we released The Trans Empowerment and Alliance Party, a safe and affirming space for trans-identified individuals to be uplifted in the community; which evolved into Black Trans Empowerment Week in 2018. As a non-profit organization, TMP, Inc. has cultivated multi-intersectional spaces that center the Black diaspora while decreasing social isolation, stigma, and breaking barriers of social injustice.
