While there are thousands of existing charities across the globe, many lack three vital aspects for success: awareness, funding and following. Dale Partridge and Aaron Chavez, founders of the 
online T-shirt company Sevenly.org, found a way to support nonprofits around the world.
Every week, Sevenly.org partners to raise money for a different organization through T-shirt sales. “A unique and fashionable T-shirt, promoting that particular charity, is offered for sale through the Sevenly website,” Organic Connections reports. “For every T-shirt sold, Sevenly gives $7 to that charity. At the end of the seven-day campaign, the charity is sent a check for the money raised.”
Since it’s inception in 2011, Sevenly.org has raised nearly $250,000 for charities worldwide, working for issues such as building wells for clean water, providing free wheelchairs for the physically disabled and disaster relief.
