Coats for a Cause
Direct Relief
The charity we’ve chosen to support through the sale of this coat is Direct Relief. While they provide aid in response to many causes and crises all over the world, we will specifically be donating towards their Ukraine Relief which focuses on providing humanitarian relief in the form of medical aid to people affected by the conflict. We chose this organization largely due to its vision, transparency, and the fact that we are able to put our funds toward the Ukraine humanitarian crisis specifically. Direct Relief is a top-rated charity and is very transparent about where donations go. You can learn more about how they are responding to the Ukraine crisis here. 100% of the proceeds made from the sale of the Wheat and Sky coat, created by Plasma and Rhyme, will be donated to this organization.
The reason for this somewhat unusual price is in order to cover payment processor transaction fees. When we charge $15.76, our payment processor takes $0.76, and we receive $15.00. That way, each of these purchases will result in raising $15 for charity. Mycena Cave is covering the cost of the coat creation and is not deducting it from the proceeds. For those of you filing US taxes this year, please note that this does not qualify as a tax-deductible charity donation: among other restrictions, tax-deductible charity donations require that you not receive anything in return for your donation, and since you will be receiving a Wheat and Sky Mycenian, this will not qualify. If you would like to make a tax-deductible charity donation to Direct Relief, please donate to them directly here.

In the chaos that is our lives at the moment, the end of this campaign slipped past us. I’ve made the donation to cover the rest of the amount now, and I’m in the process of putting the mushroom in the shops. Thanks again for everyone who purchased a charity coat!
