News from Baking for Good

Baking for Good is an online cookie company inspired by the idea of a bake sale. We send cookies nationwide and give 15% of every purchase to a charity you choose.

Baking for Good donations sponsor two girls’ educations in Tanzania. They will be the first in their families to graduate from school. We’re always thrilled to hear from our charity partners about how our donations help them make a difference. So we were touched to learn that because of our December sales in support of She’s the First, two girls in Tanzania will get an education and be the first in their families to graduate from school! She’s the First sponsors girls in the developing world by partnering with international organizations that work in developing countries, directly with the girls. One of their partners in Tanzania, Village Schools International, is so impressed by the creative fundraising done for sponsorships, that one of their donors has pledged to match every sponsorship that comes through She’s the First! It is $110 to sponsor a girl for a year in this program, so that means the $115 raised from our baked goods actually sent two girls to school! The founder of Village Schools International, Steve Vinton, emailed She’s the First with his appreciation: “We’ve been spreading the word that we want every kid to come from that village and from the surrounding villages, and we are hoping that there will be many girls coming — so every scholarship is important,” says Vinton. “Looks like people really did ‘bake for good!’” 2011 is the second year for She’s the First and they are hoping to send 500 girls to school. Here’s hoping our first triumph for this cause won’t be the last. If you decide to support She’s the First with an upcoming purchase, tweet them at @shesthefirst or leave a note on their Facebook wall (facebook.com/shesthefirst) – they want to know what you are the first to do! To all our cause partners: please continue to share your stories of how our baked goods are doing good for your organization!
