Pairs With Purpose is our ongoing effort to use our product for good. Throughout the year, we team up with various non-profit organizations, giving them an opportunity to design unique ISlide collections to help in their fundraising efforts.
A portion of sales from every Pairs With Purpose purchase directly supports each partner.
Thanks to our amazing and generous ISlide community, we’ve been able to help make a positive impact on numerous organizations around the country. Read about some of our recent partnerships below.
