New Partnership

New Partnership with NAU Outdoor Clothing

Heifer has partnered with NAU, an outdoor clothing company. Their goal (from their website) is to demonstrate the highest levels of citizenship in everything we do: product creation, production, labor practices, the way we treat each other, environmental practices and philanthropy. We believe that companies have a broader responsibility than simply generating profit. That’s one reason we blend profitability and philanthropy, what we believe is the new measure of success. Lofty? Perhaps. We didn’t invent all the ideas we seek to combine, but we will stake ourselves to them.

NAU has a number of Partners for Change. Heifer International is one of them. Each time an individual goes to check-out from their site and purchase something, they can select the organization that they wish to have the company donate a portion of their proceeds to. You can visit their site by clicking on the following link: www.nau.com. Chicago is also lucky to have a NAU store in Lincoln Park at 2118 N. Halsted.
