With every Superfeet purchase you are helping support important, impactful work that contributes to creating a world where all people thrive.
We recently made some updates to the Superfeet corporate giving program to put a spotlight on diversity and inclusion and protecting the planet, while retaining our long-term commitment to support basic, essential needs.
Superfeet is pleased to announce two new partnerships for our 1% giving program:
Running Industry Diversity Coalition (RIDC)
Superfeet is proud to support and be part of the RIDC vision of a running industry committed to racial justice, where the BIPOC individuals are welcome, valued and amplified. Website: www.runningdiversity.com.
Protect our Winters (POW)
As a brand partner of Protect our Winters, Superfeet funding joins POW’s community of outdoor professionals, creatives, and influencers working together to advance non-partisan policies that help fight climate change. Website: protectourwinters.org.
In addition to POW and RIDC, three long-term Superfeet non-profit partners continue to be the beneficiaires of Superfeet giving dollars:
