There are certain things we are all willing to spend a bit more money on for good quality, but there are brands out there that provide good quality as well as helping a good cause.
Many of these products are from small companies that you may have never heard of, but the investment in their products in worth it, not only for you but also for those that are benefitted by your purchase.
1. A Decent Tote Bag, ($29.99)
A quality tote bag with a cute design is something most girls will drop $20 on no problem, so why not spend a little more and let it go to a good cause? The Tote Project donates money to help survivors of modern-day slavery, which is a cause that doesn’t get enough attention.
2. A Reusable Water Bottle ($33.95)
A good water bottle is essential for any college student. Not only are these bottles by Yuhme cute and sturdy, but they also donate 6 months of healthy water to someone in the Central African Republic with every water bottle purchase.
3. A Protective Phone Case ($35)
Pela case produces quality phone cases that protect your device from drops and damage while also using recycled materials that help better the environment.
4. A Warm Beanie ($30)

11. Quality Leggings ($58)

One of the best-hidden gems on the list — If you shop through Amazon Smile, you have access to the same things you purchase from Amazon at the same prices, but they will donate 0.5% of the proceeds to the charity of your choice.
