Here at StartSomeGood we’re all about supporting changemakers to do good around the globe. We wanted to make ourselves some shirts that expressed our belief
in the power of changemakers and social entrepreneurship and so of course we decided to go about it in a crowd-based way, creating the designs with your help and now launching an online pop-up shop so you can order something for yourself and spread the word.
Help us grow the changemaker movement!
All funds raised will be reinvested into our platform to better serve the social enterprises, non-profits and community groups who use our site.
All our gear has been exclusively designed for StartSomeGood and, not only is it incredibly environmentally friendly and ethically made, but we think they came out looking pretty nice too!
Spread your reputation for good with our range of original unisex t-shirts, tanks, and hoodies. Our adult t-shirts are made of 50% organic cotton and 50% RPET (made from plastic bottles) and extremely soft. Our hoodies are made from 100% organic cotton;
all of our gear is ethically made.

Crowdfunding for Social Good by our friend and Forbes columnist Devin Thorpe.
E-books
Crowdfunding for Social Good – Devin D Thorpe
The book is both practical and inspiring, featuring the stories of real people who have successfully raised big money using crowdfunding and practical advice to help you do the same.
KaBOOM – Darrell Hammond
Hammond founded KaBOOM!, a national nonprofit that provides communities with tools, resources, and guidance to build and renovate playgrounds and playspaces. His story demonstrates how one idealist can change the world-and how small, civic-minded steps create
a ripple effect that can transform communities and eventually the world at large.
Thrivability - Jean Russell
An inspiring and visionary book challenges the 'breakdown thinking' that focuses only on defensive reactions. In its place, Thrivability proposes 'breakthrough thinking': an approach that recognizes the gritty reality we face but enables us to envision
and co-create a world of wellbeing and health
Crowdfund it! – Anna Maguire
Written by digital publishing and crowdfunding teacher and blogger Anna Maguire, Crowdfund it! profiles key global crowdfunding platforms. The book offers expert advice for creatives, start-ups, and not-for-profits who are considering running an
online fundraising campaign, and will appeal to anyone who's keen to keep up with developments in digital culture.

Seth Godin Behemoth
The Behemoth is Seth Godin's self-published and absurdly-massive best-of collection of the last six years of his online writing, in print for the first time ever, and never to be sold in a bookstore. It was originally sold as part of his Kickstarter campaign
last year, then for an Acumen Fund fundraiser and now here. Thank you Seth! This thing is freaking awesome and completely ridiculous. It weighs
19 pounds! Because it's so heavy it has to be US-only, sorry folks who are elsewhere!

Posters
We don't know about you guys, but most of us here at StartSomeGood are poster-people. We love covering our walls with inspiration which drives us to work
harder to make a difference. Therefore we couldn't resist getting a few of the designs made up as posters for all those that share this urge!

How do I get hold of one of those awesome rewards?
Select the reward, use paypal or credit card. Buy a single reward at a time.
As with any crowd funding campaign, we are pre-selling items and must surpass our tipping point goals before the popup shop ends on 17th July. If we've successfully reached our target the transaction will then be completed. If not, you won’t be charged a cent.
How do I select my size and preferred design?
Once you've made your purchase we'll send you an order form within five days to select specific items, styles, and sizes depending on what you ordered. Please send it back as soon as possible so we can process your order immediately when the campaign finishes.
How long will it be till I can read or wear my reward?
We'll be getting straight onto making and shipping your goodies once the Pop Up Shop closes on 17th July. Depending on where you are in the world - expected arrival date is between six to eight weeks and we'll keep you up to date with progress.
Do you offer refunds and exchanges?
Due to the nature of our campaign we won't be offering refunds or exchanges. Please make your selection carefully and take time to look over the sizing guide. In the unlikely event that the suppliers run out of a particular material or colour, the nearest alternative
will be found.
How much is shipping, will I be charged extra?
Shipping is included in the price of the reward where ever you are in the world – no additional charges. Simple!
What format do the eBooks come in?
We’re distributing the eBooks in a simple and versatile format of ePUB. It converts onto almost every device but it's worth checking that it’s a format that will work on your own.
Tell us more about the Digital Summit?
This is a great opportunity to connect with and be inspired by gurus in the field of social change and social media – from those who have created grassroots movements to authors of best-sellers. They’ll be sharing their key tips and strategies, learnings and
experiences through a series of online presentations, debates, panels and Q&A sessions.
You’ll walk away with new ideas and knowledge to help you create change. You probably won't be able to make it to all of it, as a global event it can't be at a friendly time for everyone all the time, but with over ten hours we know there'll be plenty of valuable
content to make it worth your while whenever you can dip in. And best of all you'll have access to all of the videos and transcripts afterwards, to return to whenever you like.
