Serving Others

In the summer of 2003, Stampin' Up! launched Making a Difference--a campaign designed to facilitate giving by the corporate office and promote service among demonstrators and employees.

The first organization to partner with Stampin' Up! and the Making a Difference program was Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). RMHC is an organization committed to improving the lives of children and families throughout the world by providing child abuse prevention programs, access to health care, scholarships, and other services.

Stampin' Up!'s commitment to RMHC is fourfold. Each year, the company donates $100,000 (US) to the organization plus a portion of the proceeds from the sale of an exclusive stamp set designed to promote Stampin' Up!'s partnership with RMHC. Additionally, Stampin' Up! demonstrators are encouraged to volunteer their time teaching Ronald McDonald House guests in their areas the creative art of rubber stamping.

Finally, cards demonstrators create at training events throughout the US and Canada are donated to Ronald McDonald Houses in the areas where the events are held. Those who are staying at the Houses then use the cards to keep in touch with loved ones while they are away from home.
