How Do We Give Back...

We give back several different ways. When you purchase from this website, a portion of all proceeds are donated to help the following:

1) Trees For The Future

We call it Print One. Plant One. With the help from our friends at Trees for the Future (a 501(c)3 non-profit organization), our donations will plant trees with rural communities in the developing world, enabling them to restore their environment, grow more food, and build a more sustainable future. 1 Print Ordered by you = 1 Tree planted!

CHANGING LIVES THROUGH REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

This program is the forest garden approach and through it, TREES achieves a triple bottom line impact of people, profit, and planet. TREES aims to alleviate poverty and eradicate hunger while maximizing the environmental benefits provided by each of the millions of trees we plant each year. This is an innovative approach that is not only revitalizing the environment but is also planting thousands of families out of poverty in a sustainable way. Farmers learn to plan for their family’s future by discovering how planting 4,000 trees with food crops will help them make more money, grow more food and build a sustainable future.
They learn to plant over 12 types of fruit trees and vegetables to meet market opportunities and the nutritional needs of their families. To learn more, we encourage you to watch this short YouTube video by clicking here. Their website is https://trees.org/

2) Hope Homes International

We support a Non-Profit called the Hope Homes International (a 501(c)3 non-profit organization). Hope Homes brings a unique solution to solve an unsolved problem. Hope Homes, in partnership with The English Advantage, is working to bring an unprecedented solution to Puerto Escondido... a coastal city in Oaxaca, Mexico. In short, unbelievably high numbers of youth are enduring sexual assault, and a rapidly increasing number are being exploited for sex trafficking. Hope Homes is providing children in Puerto Escondido with a safe and secure environment today while equipping them with an advantage for tomorrow.

Why did Kyle pick these non-profits?

I've been told by many fellow photographers that if you want to be successful in print sales, you have to pick a cause or a charity that resonates with your audience. And it has to be either an animal rescue charity like World Wide Funds for Nature or Save the Whales (which would make sense for someone with the last name Whaley). These are all great non-profits or charities and there is nothing wrong if a photographer/artist wants to support these groups.

But to me, I have to go with what is on my heart, maybe not what is popular. What is truly important to me is helping people. Giving a helping hand & showing the love of Christ to people who are less fortunate and have serious struggles in this world. God has blessed me beyond measure, and I want nothing more than for others to know that same blessing. That is why I picked these charities, they are making a difference!
