About Trouble for Good:
Trouble's purpose is to raise as much money as possible for non-profits doing the hard work of closing gender equity gaps.  Our moonshot goal is to reach $100 million so that we don't have to wait another hundred years to see progress happen. 

We launched Trouble on 8-18, the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment to help carry the torch of gender equity forward, handed to us by those incredible women who fought so hard for our rights, and to honor the women today who are TroubleMakers for Good.  Together we celebrate their courageousness and raise much-needed capital for non-profits hellbent on change.

Our website Troublemakers.org is designed to honor TroubleMakers & to be a resource and inspiration. 

100% of profits from Trouble purchases support organizations focused on gender equity issues.  National donation partners to date include Higher Heights, Vision2020, Gift Card Bank, Girls on the Run, GirlTrek, I Have The Right To, Girls Who Code, and Last Mile Education Fund.

Know, too, that while our fun, edgy, dare-we-say-beautiful merchandise has an important mission, it’s also sourced from sustainable, diverse, and socially-conscious businesses.
