IMPACT & DONATION TRANSPARENCY STATEMENT

Leaf & Latch

Last Updated: January 1, 2026

At Leaf & Latch, impact isn’t a marketing checkbox — it’s part of how we grow. This statement explains how our giving initiatives work, what we mean when we talk about “impact,” and how we approach transparency around donations and community support.

We believe honest communication builds trust, and we want you to clearly understand what your support helps make possible.

Our Philosophy on Impact

Leaf & Latch exists at the intersection of care — for ourselves, for others, and for the world we live in.

Our impact efforts are guided by two core beliefs:

  • Growth outside of us matters (environmental care and restoration)
  • Growth within us matters (mental health, emotional well-being, and support for youth)

We support causes that align with these values through intentional giving, partnerships, and future impact campaigns.

How Donations Work

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, purchases from Leaf & Latch do not automatically include a guaranteed donation to a nonprofit organization.

Instead, we may offer specific, time-bound impact initiatives, such as:

  • Designated donation campaigns
  • Limited-edition products tied to a cause
  • Seasonal or annual giving initiatives
  • Community-driven fundraising efforts

When a donation is tied to a specific campaign, we will clearly disclose:

  • The name of the organization(s) supported
  • The nature of the contribution (percentage, flat amount, or capped total)
  • The campaign timeframe
  • When and how donations will be made

No assumptions should be made about donations outside of those explicitly communicated campaigns.

Donation Amounts & Timing

For campaigns that include donations:

  • Donation amounts may be calculated as a percentage of sales, a flat contribution, or a pre-determined capped amount
  • Donations are typically made after the campaign concludes, not per individual transaction
  • Timing of donations may depend on campaign completion, administrative processing, or partner organization requirements

Leaf & Latch does not currently process donations in real time at checkout unless clearly stated.

Partner Organizations

We partner with organizations whose missions align with our values. These partnerships may change over time as our business evolves.

Unless otherwise stated:

  • Leaf & Latch is not affiliated with or endorsed by partner organizations beyond the scope of a specific campaign
  • Partner organizations do not control Leaf & Latch operations or content

We aim to support organizations responsibly and respectfully, without misrepresenting the relationship.

Transparency & Updates

When we run impact initiatives, we are committed to sharing updates when appropriate, which may include:

  • Campaign summaries
  • Total amounts donated (when feasible)
  • Confirmation of donation completion

Updates may be shared via our website, email communications, or social platforms.

Please note that administrative, legal, or privacy considerations may limit the level of detail we can publicly disclose.

No Guarantee of Impact Outcomes

While we are committed to giving with intention, Leaf & Latch does not guarantee specific outcomes from any donation or impact initiative.

The effectiveness, allocation, and use of donated funds are determined by the recipient organizations.

Future Impact Initiatives

As Leaf & Latch grows, so will our capacity to give. We may introduce:

  • Expanded donation programs
  • Ongoing partnerships
  • Community-supported impact projects
  • Educational or awareness-based initiatives

All future initiatives will be disclosed clearly and honestly at the time they are launched.

We welcome thoughtful questions and value accountability. If you would like clarification about a current or past impact initiative, please reach out.
