Giving back
Not a marketing line. A rule. 10% of Ironbrev's net revenue is directed toward causes that matter in our communities — locally and internationally. No minimums. No conditions. From dollar one.
How it works
At the end of every quarter, 10% of net revenue goes to organizations doing real work. Not awareness campaigns. Not overhead-heavy foundations. Organizations where the money reaches people.
Net revenue means after Stripe fees and direct delivery costs. Not after salaries, not after marketing, not after "operational expenses" that conveniently reduce the number. The honest number.
Where it goes
Transition support, mental health services, and employment programs for veterans returning to civilian life. Not parades. Housing, jobs, and someone to talk to.
Youth programs, STEM access, and literacy initiatives — with priority for underserved communities where the gap between potential and opportunity is widest.
Local food banks and international hunger programs. 1 in 8 Canadians experiences food insecurity. Globally, it's 1 in 9. These aren't statistics — they're people skipping meals.
Youth sports programs, self-defense training for vulnerable populations, clean water access, and environmental protection. The things that make communities actually work.
Why these
We didn't pick causes that photograph well or generate LinkedIn engagement. We picked causes where money moves the needle fastest — where a dollar buys a meal, funds a training session, or keeps a program running that would otherwise close.
The specific organizations change as we learn which ones use donations most effectively. We track where the money goes and what it does. When we find an organization that spends 90 cents of every dollar on the mission instead of overhead, they stay on the list.
Transparency
Starting in Q3 2026, this page will include a running total of donations made, which organizations received them, and what the money funded. Not because anyone asked. Because accountability without visibility is just a promise.
Ironbrev launched in Q2 2026. First quarterly giving report will be published here after Q2 closes.
This isn't a tax strategy or a marketing play. It's the baseline for how a business should operate. If you're building something too, consider doing the same — pick a number, commit to it publicly, and don't negotiate with yourself about it later.
