Working Together
One person can make a difference. But many people can change the world. Partnership with friends, individuals, companies, and charitable organizations is at the heart of both the Okobos® Company and the Okobos® Foundation. We know that we can't do it alone--it takes all of us together to help strengthen communities, bridge social and economic divides, and help empower people to become more self-sufficient. We believe that business can be a powerful tool in the mission to create positive change for the future; and that philanthropy is the opportunity to advance that positive change, creating a deeper impact on more people in more places.
There are many people who share our commitment to social responsibility. There truly is strength in numbers. At Okobos®, we are dedicated to the idea that when we all work together, there's nothing we can't accomplish. This spirit of collaboration carries through all our partnerships and will continue as we expand the scope of the Okobos® Foundation. To learn more about how your organization can benefit from the Okobos® Partnership Program, please contact us at: PartnerProgram@okobos.com.
Okobos® is proud to be working with the organizations listed in our Partners Program. For every pair of shoes sold online, Okobos® donates $25.00 to the organization that you choose from our Partners Program directory. The directory provides the mission statement for each organization and also provides a link to their web site, for further review. When you place your order, please be sure to select an organization and enter the corresponding Donation Code in the designated box at the time of checkout. The Donation Code automatically credits $25.00 for every pair of shoes you purchase to the organization that you selected. For example, if you purchase 2 pairs of shoes, and you want the United Way to be the recipient of the Okobos® donation, simply enter "UNITED" in the code box. Okobos® will donate $50.00 ($25.00 x 2 pairs of shoes) to the United Way. Each organization participating in our Partners Program receives a monthly report from our system, indicating the total dollar amount donated to their organization during that month. Organizations can request an updated report at ANY time and may opt to have their donation checks sent monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, bi-annually or annually.
In addition to supporting our Partners Program, Okobos® also supports the Okobos® Foundation. With every online shoe purchase, the Okobos® Company donates $5.00 to the Okobos® Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization with its mission to serve children and their families by providing them with hope and the tools they need to realize their fullest potential. **With every in-store shoe purchase, the Okobos® Company donates $5.00 to the Okobos® Foundation.
So jump in feet first and join us. Because when you purchase Okobos® shoes, you give children all over the world the power to lift up their voices and dream.
Change comes in quiet footfalls or bold leaps,
in small steps or great strides,
Yet it doesn't walk alone;
it takes all of us together to create it.
When we all share our wisdom, our time,
our skills, our grace, the dance of change can begin.
