Project 925

Project 925 is the giving initiative behind No. 925. Every month, 10% of profits are donated to a vetted nonprofit doing meaningful work in one of four focus areas: mental health, environmental conservation, veteran support, and community outreach. The nonprofit is selected because the contribution will be directly felt by the organization, not for brand optics. One cause per month. The full 10%. No splitting, no rounding up, no gimmicks.

No. 925 is built on a made-to-order production model, which means every piece of sustainable apparel is created only when a customer orders it. Nothing is produced speculatively. Nothing sits in a warehouse. This approach eliminates the overproduction and excess inventory that define fast fashion and make the apparel industry one of the most wasteful on earth. Combined with Project 925's monthly giving, the result is a brand where responsible production and direct community impact are built into the business model, not added as an afterthought.

Made to order means your hoodie, tee, or accessory is produced after you place your order, not before. The fashion industry produces an estimated 92 million tons of textile waste annually, much of it from unsold inventory. Made-to-order production eliminates that waste entirely. It means a slightly longer wait for your order, but zero contribution to the overproduction cycle. That trade-off is central to how No. 925 operates as a sustainable apparel brand.

Each nonprofit is individually vetted. We prioritize smaller, local, and regional organizations where a contribution from a brand our size will actually be felt. Large national charities with significant overhead and administrative costs are not the focus. We look for organizations doing direct, hands-on work in mental health access, environmental conservation, veteran transition support, or community building. The goal is felt impact at the ground level, not a logo swap on a press release.

Profits. 10% of monthly profits go to the featured nonprofit. This is an important distinction. A percentage of sales is taken before costs, which means brands can inflate the number while the actual donation is smaller than it appears. A percentage of profits means No. 925 covers all production, shipping, and operating costs first, then donates 10% of what the brand actually earns. It is a more honest and meaningful metric.

Many ethical apparel brands donate a fixed amount per item sold, round up at checkout, or make a single annual donation. No. 925 commits 10% of total monthly profits, rotated across individually vetted nonprofits doing real work. The giving is structural and recurring, not seasonal or promotional. Combined with made-to-order sustainable apparel and zero overproduction, the entire business model is designed around conscious commerce from production through giving.

Traditional apparel brands produce in bulk based on demand forecasts, and unsold inventory is frequently destroyed, sent to landfill, or dumped in developing countries. Made-to-order production eliminates this entirely. Every No. 925 graphic hoodie and graphic tee exists because someone chose it. Nothing is manufactured on speculation. This is the foundation of sustainable fashion done honestly.

We partner with organizations working on access to counseling, crisis intervention, community-based mental health programs, and resources for underserved populations. The specific focus varies by partner, but the through-line is consistent: making mental health support available to people who need it, regardless of income, geography, or insurance status. Mental health is one of our four core pillars because access to care should not be a privilege.

Conservation of wild spaces, clean water initiatives, habitat protection, reforestation, and grassroots environmental organizations working at the local and regional level. We look for groups doing tangible, measurable work to protect the places we all move through. A brand built on intentional living and sustainable apparel has a responsibility to the land, water, and ecosystems that sustain everything else.

We partner with nonprofits focused on the transition after military service: housing assistance, employment programs, mental health care, and community reintegration. The organizations we choose are doing direct, on-the-ground work with veterans and their families. Transition does not end at discharge, and the support system should not either. This pillar reflects our belief that giving back means meeting people where the need is greatest.

Community is our fourth pillar. This includes food banks, community outreach programs, youth mentorship, small business coaching, and local organizations that strengthen the neighborhoods around them. These are the groups that feed families, teach trades, open doors, and build the infrastructure that holds communities together. They rarely make headlines, but they do the work that matters most at the ground level.

The featured nonprofit rotates monthly, so your purchase supports whichever organization is featured that month. This rotation ensures support reaches all four pillars throughout the year: mental health, environment, veterans, and community. We share the featured partner each month on our social channels and through email updates so you always know where the 10% is going.

The Collab Line lets creators, small businesses, and nonprofits partner with No. 925 on a custom designed piece of apparel. No. 925 handles all design, production, and fulfillment. The partner chooses the nonprofit that receives 10% of profits from their piece and earns a share of the remaining net. It is a way for organizations and individuals to support a cause they care about while building something tangible together. Reach out to start a collab.

No. The 10% comes from profits, not from inflated pricing. Our oversized graphic hoodies, graphic tees, dad hats, and accessories are priced to reflect the quality of the product and the made-to-order production model. The giving is built into how the business operates, not passed on to the customer as a surcharge or premium.

Conscious apparel means every decision behind the product is deliberate. For No. 925, that starts with made-to-order production so nothing is wasted, extends to designs that carry a message rooted in intentional living, and includes 10% of profits going back to causes that matter every single month. Fast fashion is built on overproduction, trend chasing, and disposable quality. No. 925 is built on slow fashion principles: fewer pieces, higher intention, and a model that gives back more than it takes.

Because every piece is made to order, there is a production window of 2 to 5 business days before your order ships. Once shipped, delivery times depend on your location. The estimated delivery window is shown at checkout. This timeline is the honest trade-off of sustainable production: your piece is made for you, not pulled from a warehouse shelf. The result is less waste and a product that was created with intention.

Because every piece is made to order, returns work a little differently than fast fashion retailers. Full details are available on our refund policy page. If you have questions about sizing before you order, our support team is happy to help you find the right fit before production begins.
