sustainability and financial health. These programs will help emerging leaders learn the tricks of the trade and equip them with the tools and best practices they need to be effective,” said Darian

Partnering with Craigslist Foundation to provide important resources, programs, and on-demand merchandise opportunities for organizations and individuals to help them succeed in their earned income strategies further reinforces our commitment to non profits and our Zazzle Giving program,” said James Heckman, Chief Strategy Officer,
