Grant Dawson Collections is committed to bringing positive change to our world. 

Micro-enterprise Support
Grant Dawson Collections strives to be a conduit of change for people in need.  Supporting the creation of income-producing activities, our beading project with women’s groups of Northern Kenya encourages the sustainable development of natural resources as an efficient means of poverty alleviation.  Working through The BOMA Fund, Grant Dawson Collections is able to generate funds for materials and supplies, as well as provide a marketplace for the sale of these products.  The profits are directly distributed back to the artisans as income, as well as support for training and education. 

Our hope, through The BOMA Fund beading project and others, is that the people of these communities will be able to place their futures in their own capable hands.  We believe the highest form of charity is not in giving aid alone, but rather in providing the tools that promote self-reliance. 

 

Sustainable Furnishings Council
The Sustainable Furnishings Council (SFC) is a non-profit broad-based coalition of companies, non-profits, media interests, and individuals who believe that sustainable furniture and furnishings standards must become the norm in our industry, just as greenbuilding has become the norm in the building sector. Believing we must stop the worst environmental practices within our spheres of influence, SFC members will significantly contribute to fighting dangerous global climate change.

The SFC discourages "greenwashing" by those who are jumping on the green marketing express, but wholeheartedly embraces those who are eager to learn more about sustainable products and practices and are willing to take a series of beginning steps.  

With almost 200 members in its inaugural year, SFC membership involves answering a series of questions that engenders most company executives to reflect on their products and practices.  Knowing where one is on the journey to sustainability is the first step.  Each member evaluates their mission statement to ensure it is aligned with the SFC standards and creates an action plan for ongoing improvements.

Grant Dawson Collections, whose entire business model is based on sustainability, has achieved the SFC's Corporate Exemplary Silver Membership Level for 2008.  Your purchase from Grant Dawson Collections also allows you to make a difference in our world as a portion of our profits are donated to the Sustainable Furniture Council.

 

Our Silver Exemplary Status awarded by the Sustainable Furniture
Council is an achievement of our deep commitment to the
environment and its people.
