What is it...
● Stitching for Change is a partial non
profit organization that sells reusable
burlap grocery bags
● Stitching for change benefits the
environment as it eliminates waste from
discarded plastic bag
● Stitching for change also donates 15% of
all profits to impoverished countries
Why is it needed...
● ⅔ of all people worldwide lack access to
clean water
● over 20,000 children die each y due to
poverty related causes
● 10% of all plastic bags end up in the
ocean
● Worldwide we use over a trillion plastic
Type of business
A corporation best fits this business's
needs as it has a large range of production
and charity related responsibilities
Stitching for change will need to
communicate worldwide with impoverished
countries
I am hopeful that this company will continue
after the current teams passes on
Financing
● I make the bags for 1.50 per unit ansell
that at 8.99 each
● After taking out the 15% donation and
production cost we make about 6.30$ on
every bag
● I am asking you for 50,000$ for 20%
equity in the company
● The past two years we have generated
How it’s sold...
● We target women ages 35-60, however
men of the same age range won't be
deterred from this product
● We market Stitching for Change visually
on billboards, TV ads, and signs
● Our marketing strategy is to make people
aware of the upsetting conditions in other
countries and the environmental issues
