When you buy a tee from StandUp Tees, you’re doing more than adding to your wardrobe — you’re contributing to a movement.
Every purchase supports causes that fight for justice, equality, and compassion. For every shirt sold, $5 is donated directly to organisations making real impact in Australia and around the world.
But where does that money actually go? What difference does it make?
This post takes you behind the numbers to show the real stories, real programs, and real lives changed by your purchases. Because at StandUp Tees, transparency isn’t an afterthought — it’s part of our stand.
Why We Give
From day one, we built StandUp Tees around purpose, not profit.
Each design carries a message — and each message supports a cause. Whether we’re printing words like “All Wars Are Wars on Children” or “No Justice, No Peace,” we ensure those ideas translate into tangible action.
We wanted our brand to give back in a way that was simple, measurable, and meaningful. That’s why we set our standard: $5 from every tee goes to charities and grassroots organisations creating change.
It’s not a marketing tactic. It’s our way of making sure your purchase means something beyond the checkout page.
The Causes We Support
We focus on organisations that align with our values — groups fighting for justice, inclusion, and compassion. Here’s a closer look at some of our key partners and the impact your support helps make possible:
🌍 Save the Children International
Focus: Protecting children in conflict zones and disaster areas.
Save the Children works in over 100 countries, providing education, nutrition, and emergency care to children affected by war, poverty, and natural disasters.
Your purchases have helped fund programs that deliver:
-
Access to education for displaced children.
-
Emergency relief in war-torn regions like Gaza and Ukraine.
-
Safe spaces for kids recovering from trauma.
Each donation helps Save the Children reach communities where childhood itself is under threat — turning your tee into a small act of global solidarity.
🚺 Women with Disabilities Australia (WWDA)
Focus: Equality, rights, and leadership for women and girls with disabilities.
WWDA is an Australian organisation led by and for women with disabilities. They work to end discrimination, violence, and inequality while amplifying voices that are too often silenced.
Through your support, WWDA has been able to:
-
Deliver national advocacy campaigns on gender-based violence.
-
Fund leadership training for women and girls with disabilities.
-
Push for policy change and legal reform at national and UN levels.
When you buy from us, you help make sure every identity, ability, and story is valued — not marginalised.
🏳️⚧️ Trans Justice Project
Focus: Fighting for freedom, justice, and equality for trans and gender-diverse people in Australia.
The Trans Justice Project campaigns for policy reform, public education, and community safety. They work tirelessly to combat misinformation and build a more inclusive, equitable future for all.
Your contributions help fund:
-
Advocacy for healthcare rights and anti-discrimination protections.
-
Public awareness campaigns that challenge transphobia and hate.
-
Legal initiatives that promote equality and safety.
Every time you wear one of our tees, you’re helping build a country where everyone can live with dignity and authenticity.
How It Works
We keep it simple.
At the end of each quarter, we tally up every sale and distribute donations to our partner organisations. We post regular updates on our website and social channels, so you can see where your dollars are going and the difference they’re making.
We believe in radical transparency — not just telling you what we stand for, but showing you what we do about it.
The Ripple Effect of Small Actions
A $5 donation might seem small, but small things multiply fast when community comes together. One tee becomes ten, ten become a hundred, and suddenly, your collective impact is funding vital programs across the world.
It’s easy to underestimate what small acts of generosity can do. But every donation funds hours of training, meals for children, legal aid for vulnerable communities, and policy change that shifts the future.
When you buy consciously, you’re reminding the world that fashion can be a force for good.
The Story Behind the Numbers
To us, this isn’t just about writing a cheque — it’s about connection.
Behind every dollar donated are real people, real faces, and real stories of transformation.
A mother in Gaza able to access food aid for her children.
A young woman in Melbourne finding her voice through disability leadership programs.
A trans teenager feeling safer and more seen because advocacy changed local school policies.
These are the ripples of your purchase — proof that small actions, repeated often, build momentum for change.
Why Transparency Matters
In an industry full of empty “giving back” promises, we believe honesty is non-negotiable.
That’s why we share updates on donations, charities, and campaigns — because when you buy from us, you’re part of that story.
Transparency builds trust. And trust builds movements.
You Made This Happen
Your support turned a small Melbourne-based brand into a community with real impact.
When we made our first donation, it was a moment of pride — not because of the money itself, but because it meant the idea behind StandUp Tees was working.
People were standing up.
Not just by wearing their values, but by acting on them.
That’s what Wear Your Stand is all about: transforming clothing into connection, and awareness into action.
How You Can Keep the Impact Going
-
Buy consciously. Every purchase matters — especially when it gives back.
-
Share the message. Tell friends, post online, and spread awareness about the causes you’re supporting.
-
Follow our updates. Stay connected to see how your donations are creating impact.
-
Get involved. Visit our partners’ websites to learn how you can volunteer, donate directly, or advocate for change.
Your tee is a conversation starter — but it’s also a catalyst for compassion.
A Collective Stand
We started with a simple idea: that a T-shirt could do more than make a statement — it could make a difference.
Now, with your help, it’s doing exactly that.
From conflict zones to classrooms, from policy campaigns to community programs, your purchase reaches farther than you think.
Every thread, every print, every $5 tells a story of solidarity, justice, and hope.
Because when you wear your stand, you’re not just part of our mission — you’re helping to change the world.
