About
Art that gives back.
Cards That Give Back sells hand-drawn greeting cards, and all profits go to charity.
Our story
Hi, I’m Grace. As a teenager I fell in love with what I could create with a 0.05mm black pen from Cowan's (our local office and art supply store). Drawing cards became a little way I could make people feel appreciated and thought of. A handwritten card is a small act of kindness. I loved the idea of sharing my cards so that each one could do a second kind thing too. Every card is printed here in Nelson, and all of the profits go to charities making a meaningful difference.

Questions
Where does the money go?
All profits go to the Nelson Community Food Centre: $15 from every $20 pack. Profit is what's left after the costs of printing, envelopes, packaging and shipping.
Are you a charity?
No. Cards That Give Back is a small local business that gives its profits away, so we can't issue tax receipts.
Who draws the cards?
Grace draws every design by hand in black ink, here in Nelson, B.C.
How do I pay?
By Interac e-Transfer in Canada, or Wise for U.S. orders.
How do I get my cards?
Free drop-off in Nelson and on the North Shore, mail across Canada, or our U.S. order page for orders from the States.
