Since 2006, Crate and Barrel and its customers have given hundreds of thousands of dollars to public school classrooms through the unique Giving Card program created by DonorsChoose.org. Crate and Barrel distributed the cards as a ‘thank-you’ to its customers. The positive responses from customers has been tremendous, as demonstrated in this video Larson-Marvine created for Crate and Barrel to highlight the success of the program.

In 2008 Crate and Barrel and DonorsChoose.org received the Cause Marketing Forum’s Silver Halo Award, America’s highest honor for companies that “do well by doing good” through joint projects that are both profitable and promote social causes.
