Initiative Overview
The Happy Bandana Cause Marketing Initiative is a community-centered fundraising platform that empowers local nonprofits by integrating charitable giving into everyday home care and property services. By leveraging the power of collaboration, co-branded marketing, and trust-based relationships, we’ve created a sustainable, scalable model that provides long-term support to nonprofits while offering donors a way to give back through services they already need.
Objective
To support nonprofits in Solano County and beyond through a cause marketing platform that generates ongoing fundraising via The Happy Bandana’s core services and extended partner network.
