Our whole lives we are told to think outside the box. We just think more thoughtfully about the box - and what goes in it.™

The Problem

WHAT YOU MAY KNOW: Nonprofits, there are a lot. Each one has a mission. Each mission is supported by various efforts (fundraising, in-kind donations, etc.).

WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW, “THE PROBLEM”: The in-kind donations system is broken. Why? Let’s start at the beginning. At some point, you’ve likely bagged up items to donate. Now imagine all those bags being delivered to a nonprofit. What’s next? The nonprofit has to unpack, sort, dispose of, store and distribute. It’s work, on top of work.

TAKEAWAY: Driving and processing in-kind donations is burdensome for nonprofits because this is only one effort supporting the mission, it’s not their mission. As a result, the system has evolved by default, lacking intention and personalization.

The Solution

OUR MISSION: We box up donations to transform giving from transaction to connection.

How We Work: We support nonprofits’ missions by partnering to deliver our boxes to individuals within the communities they serve.

Our Story

In 2019, we developed two different boxes to support an arts program and summer camp.

“Boxes Because takes the anxiety and stress of trying to pull a million supplies together and replaces it with a personalized thoughtful gift for each of our teens. We have been able to focus on providing care for our teens, while Boxes Because has taken care of us.
So often as nonprofits, we get tied up in doing everything for everyone and don't get the chance to slow down to provide personalized and detail-oriented care. The thing that's blown us away most about Boxes Because is their attention to details.
Everything from the staging of the boxes to the notes inside. They're always asking, 'What's next, how can we support you all more, and better serve your teens?' They’re providing an invaluable service to us and an invaluable experience to our teens with their boxes. We couldn't do as much for our teens, without them!"
Malika, Founder & CEO of ChopArt

Box 101

We consider the full experience of those receiving one of our boxes. Each box, thoughtfully curated and packed with care to deliver:

• Quality items to meet each need
• Personalization through notes enclosed
