A portion of the proceeds from your purchase of a Karma Doll will benefit one or more of the following charities. In keeping with the 'golden rule' of karma "you reap what you sow," your charitable contribution is a gesture of good will which the universe will surely repay. Each Karma Doll is not only an opportunity to help others in need, it is a tangible embodiment of the philosophy, "what goes around, comes around," and a daily reminder that you have helped make the world a better place. Here are some of the charities supported by your Karma Doll purchase:

Aims to empower, educate and collaborate with people and projects to positively impact the planet and its creatures. We are a team, a group of people, who view the environment as an interconnected organism of which we are not separate but apart of. There is no differentiation between all living things: trees, rivers, animals and humans. We are all one interdependent organism. The global problems and challenges we are facing are infinitely interconnected and co-dependent, therefore our solutions and actions must be enacted in an interconnected manner. There are numerous causes, many campaigns and organizations aiming to encourage change, which includes ending deforestation, planting trees, eliminating pesticides and healing our planet. How many of these organizations or campaigns team up to become a united spirit of change? Nature does not behave independently. It works in unison with all its elements. Working independently to transform our planet is like trying to playing a violin without strings. Communities of businesses, organizations, people and projects must begin to connect resources and skills to passions and projects. The IS FOUNDATION will behave in full collaborative spirit by joining with other Non-Profit, For-Profit and governing bodies globally.
