Tea Partners with
The Global Fund for Children

The mission of The Global Fund for Children is to advance the dignity of children and youth around the world. Since 1997, GFC has given more than $17 million in grants to 397 community-based organizations in 75 countries.

Tea’s support for GFC takes many forms. We designed the Little Citizens Give Back Collection-donating all proceeds directly to GFC. We hold GFC days and donate 20% of all online sales to the organization. We sell a variety of GFC children’s book, including "To Be an Artist." And we helped fund their 2010 International Center of Photography fellowship.

Tea’s School Days:
Shop & Donate 15% to Your School

You can help your school just by shopping for your favorite globally-inspired kids clothes from Tea. We created Tea's School Days Program to expand our charitable efforts and give back to schools in a bigger way. The 2013 Spring School Days will be held February 19-21.

How does it work? When you participate in School Days, we'll provide your school with a specialized promo code that you can share with your school community and with friends and family. When you enter the promo code during the three-day School Days event, Tea will donate 15% of the order total back to your school, and you'll get free Fedex Saver shipping on your order.

How does it add up? We'll donate 15% of the merchandise total of every single order placed using the code goes back to your school (pretty cool). For example, if 10 people from your community place an order of $100, Tea will write your school a check for $150. The more people shop, the more we donate. And there's no limit. It's that simple. How do I get started?

Program Rules & Details

Tea School Days is open only to registered 501(c)(3) organizations that are schools, provide direct financial support to schools (such as PTAs and local education foundations), or provide direct educational services to schools (such as a non-profit that operates an after-school program). Applications for Spring 2013 School Days must be received by Tea no later than 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on February 15, 2013. Tea is not responsible for lost, late, or misdirected applications. Applications will be approved or denied in Tea's sole discretion. If your application is approved, Tea will contact you and provide you with your school's promo code and with sample signage you can use to promote School Days to your school community. You agree that you will not use the signage, or the Tea name and logo, except to promote your school's participation in School Days, and you will not list Tea as a sponsor or donor, or use our name and logo in a way that suggests we are a school sponsor.

To earn the 15% donation and qualify for free saver shipping, orders must be placed between 12:01 am PT on February 19, 2013 and 11:59 pm PT on February 21, 2013. Orders that do not use your school's promo code will not be counted. Only one promo code per order; offer cannot be combined with other promotions. No adjustments on previous orders will be made. To use the promo code, participants must enter it in the promo code box upon checkout and click "Apply promo code." Free shipping offer is for saver shipping only; if saver shipping is selected, discount will appear only on the review page of checkout and will show the amount deducted ($7.00) below the order total. The promo code will also appear in the right bottom corner above the order total.

Any questions or promo code glitches? Contact our Customer Care team at service@teacollection.com. Tea does not give fundraising updates while School Days is under way, but we will send email to your designated contact within a week after the promotion ends to let you know how much you raised. Checks will be mailed within 4 weeks after Tea's School Days ends. We request that all schools send us an email documenting the receipt of their school's check.

Tea Collection’s
Inspiring Mom Awards

Here at Tea, we're always looking for ways to honor amazing moms, so we invited our community to nominate women they found most inspiring in their lives. We were overwhelmed with the response and loved reading the stories we received.

To help us choose who should win the distinction of Most Inspiring Moms, we assembled a panel of "Model Citizens"-six women who acted as judges to select three finalists in three categories. We then shared these nine finalists with our Facebook community and invited them to vote. The moms with the most votes received a $1000 donation from Tea to the charity of their choice, plus some much-deserved recognition as official winners in Tea's inaugural Inspiring Mom Awards.
