CRUDE Cares: The Floret Coalition

CRUDE is a proud member of The Floret Coalition, an anti-racist collective of small businesses supporting and funding equity-oriented actions via monthly donations and social campaigns. Together, we raise funds and awareness for organizations prioritizing the needs of Black, Indigenous, and Latinx communities.

As of June 2021, The Floret Coalition has over 100 members who collectively donate over $10,000 per month.

By focusing on providing direct contributions to grassroots actions, The Floret Coalition not only maximizes aid received by the org, but ensures that money goes toward groups doing tangible, boots on the ground work in their communities.
