A portion of our proceeds go to charities that provide outdoor experiences for the blind and disabled. Our packaging tells stories about Jack "2Blind" Hansen, a slightly magical rain forest blind hippie. What prompts you to make a rolling paper purchase?

Fundraising pleasantries are great... But, when every development team is using the exact same talk track... Over-harping on a donor's golf swing or kid's recital stops differentiating us... And can actually play against us. What's better is being able to call with interesting insights and analysis based on their giving, and the impact it's driving. (while, of course, still opening with pleasantries as appropriate) We're delivering this for fundraising teams in the trenches. And the results speak for themselves.
